1 RA Silencing, mechanism and applications
2 The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology
3 There is life outside proteincoding genes There are approximately gene predictions for the Human genome But the estimated number of protein coding genes is 21,561 It is estimated that 98% of the transcriptional output of the human genome represents RA that does not encode protein
4 RA Silencing, mechanism and applications 1. History and definitions 2. The role of small RAs in gene regulation 3. Mechanisms of RA interference 4. Biological role of RA silencing 5. Applications of RA silencing 6. miras

52 mira The mira are endogenous small RA guides that repress the expression of target genes. Differ from sira in biogenesis not in functions, although mechanisms can be different. mra cleavage when complementarity is extensive, repress translation when not. lin-4 mutant worms had defects in timing of cell division. Encodes a small RA that binds to and silenced lin-14 message. Lin-14 mra levels do not decline, but that may not always be the case. let-7 also found in other species.
53 mira Many mira are embedded in introns of protein encoding genes and are transcribed together with host genes. mira can be expressed in developmentally tissue specific fashion but may not be expressed in tissues where putative target sequences are.
