microRNAs: Review of Discovery, Biogenesis, and Research Areas

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous RNA molecules (~21-25 nt) that regulate gene expression by targeting one of more mRNAs for translational repression or cleavage. Although the first miRNA was identified over ten years ago, it is only recently that...[more]

Dharmacon in the Real World

RNA (ribonucleic acid) used to be the mistreated stepsister of the biological world – the workhorse of the genetic field that no one would acknowledge.  In fact, small RNAs were routinely discarded . . . [more]

Read about how the University of North Carolina and Dharmacon collaborated using Dharmacon used SMARTselection™ siRNAs to determine the gene for vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR), a major factor in the blood-clotting pathway. [more]
