{{hidden|What is knockdown technology?|[[The use of synthetic si-RNA (short RNA sequences) introduced into cells that serve as substrates for Dicer and interact with the RISC complex in a manner analogous to endogenous miRNAs, and are used to study gene function, and are being developed as therapeutic agents to silence pathogenic genes, e.g. oncogenic in neoplasms.]]}} | {{hidden|What is knockdown technology?|[[The use of synthetic si-RNA (short RNA sequences) introduced into cells that serve as substrates for Dicer and interact with the RISC complex in a manner analogous to endogenous miRNAs, and are used to study gene function, and are being developed as therapeutic agents to silence pathogenic genes, e.g. oncogenic in neoplasms.]]}} | ||
{{ | {{hidden|What is long non coding RNA?|[[ Lnc-RNA modulate gene expression by binding to regions of chromatin, restricting RNA polymerase access to coding genes within the region, and may exceed the number of mRNA's by 10-20 fold.]]}} | ||
{{hidden|What is XIST?|[[XIST is a lnc-RNA which is transcribed from the X-chromosome and plays an essential role in physiologic X chromosome inactivation, though not inactivated itself, it forms a repressive cloak on the X chromosome from which it is transcribed resulting in gene silencing.]]}} | |||
{{hidden|What are the cellular housekeeping functions?|[[ 1) protection from the environment, 2) nutrient acquisition, 3) communication, 4) movement, 5) renewal of senescent molecules, 6) molecular catabolism, 7) energy generation.]]}} | |||
