RNA Interference Mediated Gene Silencing
As an industrial leader in genetic modification and engineering of plants, Lifeasible has acquired extensive experience and expert knowledge in RNA interference (RNAi) – the most common means of obtaining sequence-specific gene knockdown. This technique introduces double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into target cells, resulting in rapid and precise impairment of endogenous gene functions. The quickness and general affordability of RNAi have advanced the frontier in plant engineering and crop improvement, leading to the discovery of function-enhanced novel crops, such as nicotine-free tobacco, non-allergenic peanuts, decaffeinated coffee, and nutrient fortified maize.
