Conserved core RNAi machinery in trematode-vectoring snails indicates gene silencing potential in the absence of classical systemic and amplification effectors

2026-07-14

Abstract excerpt

RNA interference (RNAi) is a widely exploited reverse-genetics tool with potential uses for disease control. Successful RNAi has been reported in trematode-vectoring snails, but the composition of RNAi effector-encoding gene complements, a key driver for RNAi efficiency, remain unstudied in these species. Using bioinformatics and comparative genomics, we searched for orthologues of 115 RNAi effector sequences in g...
