6. The RNA exosome and the maintenance of genome integrity
Abstract : The RNA exosome is a ribonucleolytic complex that acts on different RNA substrates and plays important roles in RNA metabolism. In recent years, the synthesis and the processing of RNA have been directly linked to the integrity of the genome. READ MORE

7. Little strokes fell great oaks : small RNA in potato and Phytophthora infestans interactions
Abstract : Small RNAs (sRNAs) are non-coding RNAs of approximately 20-30 nucleotides in length. sRNAs bind to Argonaute proteins (AGOs) an integrated partner of the RISC complex. sRNAs act as templates for RISC to recognize complementary mRNA transcripts which can be cleaved by AGOs and thereby cause gene inactivity.

8. Systemic RNAi Relies on the Endomembrane System in Caenorhabditis elegans
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

9. Size matters : RNA silencing processes in Phytophthora infestans
Abstract : Non-coding RNAs do not encode proteins but instead function through their own RNA sequence. These molecules range from several thousands of nucleotides (nt) in length down to around 20 nt. Specifically, small RNAs (sRNAs) have critical functions in eukaryotic cells, despite being only 20-30 nt long. READ MORE

10. Identification of novel tumor biomarkers for sensitivity to radio- and chemotherapy of lung cancer based on genomic analyses
Abstract : Lung cancer (LC) is one of the most common human cancers and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Treatment of LC is by surgery if the tumor is resectable, otherwise chemo- and/or radiotherapy (CT/RT) is given. READ MORE
