Gene Silencing

Molecular classification
RNA interference, Epigenetic regulation, Transcriptional regulation, Post-transcriptional regulation
01

Overview

Gene silencing encompasses natural and engineered processes that reduce or prevent specific gene expression without altering DNA sequences directly. It operates via multiple molecular pathways at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels; these have become powerful tools for research as well as promising therapeutic strategies across medicine and biotechnology.
