Chapter 14.5, Problem 16COQ

Summary Introduction

To define:

The origin of small interfering RNAs, microRNAs, and Piwi-interacting RNAs.

Introduction:

Small interfering RNA ($\text{siRNA}$), micro interfering RNA ($\text{miRNA}$), and Piwi-interacting RNA, regulates the gene expression as they induce gene silencing by regulating the down expression of a gene.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

The function of small interfering RNAs, microRNAs, and Piwi-interacting RNAs.

Introduction:

Gene expression is regulated by small interfering RNA ($\text{siRNA}$), micro interfering RNA ($\text{miRNA}$) and Piwi-interacting RNA, and by the level of post transcription, as they induce the gene silencing in the target $\text{mRNA}\text{.}$
