We need to regulate gene expression

Gene Silencing

We need to regulate gene expression and as such gene silencing technology has arrived. It’s a regulation within a cell to prevent certain gene activity, which may cause disease or disorder. Scientist are trying gene silencing technology to prevent HIV, cancer or other painful disease.

 Another term of gene silencing is called gene knockdown, expression of gene is reduced. In some of the cases when gene is knockdown, its effect has erased. A gene knockdown mechanism is the mechanism used to silence the genes, such as RNAi, CRISPR, or siRNA, generally reduce the expression of a gene by at least 70% but not completely eliminate. Unknown disease are increasing day by day, as such gene knockdown mechanism is must.
