Abstract excerpt
Genetic analysis of the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway in Trypanosoma brucei has so far revealed one essential component, namely, TbAGO1, encoding a member of the Argonaute protein family. To gain further insight into the RNAi mechanism and its biological significance, we selected RNAi-deficient trypanosomes by using repeated cycles of electroporation with alpha-tubulin double-stranded RNA, a treatment that...
