• Artificial microRNAs as antiviral strategy to FMDV: structural implications of target selection 

      Gismondi, Maria Ines; Ortiz, Xoana P.; Curra, Anabella Paola; Asurmendi, Sebastian; Taboga, Oscar Alberto (2014-04)
      RNA interference (RNAi) appears as a promising strategy to control virus replication. While the antiviral power of short-hairpin RNAs or small-interfering RNAs against FMDV has been demonstrated widely, safer RNAi effectors ...
    • Plant microRNAs: Recent Advances and Future Challenges 

      Debat, Humberto Julio; Ducasse, Daniel Adrian (2014-12)
      MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small ∼20–24 nt species of non-coding RNAs that modulate plant gene expression by means of gene silencing through sequence-specific inhibition of target mRNAs. MiRNAs derive from pol-II transcription ...
