  2. 1. Connecting Systemic RNAi to the Endomembrane System in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Author : Benjamin T. Holmgren; Andrea Hinas; Gerhart Wagner; Peter Brodersen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systemic RNAi; RNAi inheritance; Endomembrane system; Late endosome; SID-5; SEC-22; SYX-6; C12D8.1; RNA; Biology with specialization in Molecular Cell Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär cellbiologi;

    Abstract : RNA interference (RNAi) is a gene regulation mechanism conserved among eukaryotes. To silence gene expression, RNAi relies on a short single-stranded guide RNA to steer the RNA-induced Silencing Complex (RISC) to mRNAs with guide strand-complementary sequences. RNAi is a highly membrane-associated process. READ MORE

  4. 2. Systemic RNAi Relies on the Endomembrane System in Caenorhabditis elegans

    Author : Yani Zhao; Andrea Hinas; Staffan Svärd; Simon Tuck; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Systemic RNAi; RNAi inheritance; late endosomes MVBs; SID-5; SEC-22; SYX-6; C12D8.1; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : The membrane system of a eukaryotic cell is a large and complex system handling the transport, exchange and degradation of many kinds of material. Recent research shows that double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mediated gene silencing (RNA interference) is a membrane related process. READ MORE

  5. 3. Adaptation and plasticity within and across generations

    Author : Zuzana Sekajova; Martin Lind; Lesley Lancaster; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Phenotypic plasticity; nongenetic inheritance; environmental variation; Caenorhabditis elegans; Caenorhabditis remanei; life history; Biologi med inriktning mot zooekologi; Biology with specialization in Animal Ecology;

    Abstract : The environment is seldom stable but often changes from one state to another and in order to survive and reproduce organisms need to respond to those changes. If the change is fast, genetic adaptations may not evolve quickly enough and organisms must adopt other strategies, such as phenotypic plasticity. READ MORE
