Gene expression is the generation of a functional gene product from the information encoded by a gene, through the processes of transcription and translation. Gene products are often proteins ...

The tiny strings of RNA promote translation of a protein implicated in cancer, a hint they could regulate gene expression in more ways than previously thought. Holly Barker is a freelance journalist ...

See how small bits of non-coding RNA target mRNA for destruction and regulate gene expression. Evidence has also shown that siRNA is involved in antiviral defense in certain plant and animal species.
