Generation of Virus- and dsRNA-Derived siRNAs with Species-Dependent Length in Insects

Generation of Virus- and dsRNA-Derived siRNAs with Species-Dependent Length in Insects

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules of viral origin trigger a post-transcriptional gene-silencing mechanism called RNA interference (RNAi). Specifically, virally derived dsRNA is recognized and cleaved by the enzyme Dicer2 into short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), which further direct sequence-specifi...
