Abstract excerpt
In many eukaryotes, double-stranded (ds) RNA leads to specific degradation of RNA of cognate sequence, a process termed RNA interference (RNAi). Here we used the protozoan Trypanosoma brucei as a model to investigate efficiency and specificity of RNAi generated by expression of long dsRNA of PFRA and PFRC genes, which code for flagellar proteins required for cell motility. Consequences of RNAi were monitored at...
