Farmers looking to gain the upper hand over corn rootworm (CRW) pests have new tools to deploy in the field, thanks to Ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi) technology. RNAi works in CRW as it feeds on ...

In 2002, on the heels of the discovery that RNA interference existed in human cells, the usually reserved journal Science proclaimed RNAi the "breakthrough of the year." Here was a part of the body's ...

In barely a decade, RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) has evolved from a fascinating biological phenomenon into a powerful experimental tool. Progress in genome sequencing and annotation, as well as ...

Farmers sow. Plants grow. Insects eat. Plant pests have been a fundamental challenge to farming since the beginning. Farmers have used a variety of methods for thousands of years to control the pests.

On Friday, the Food and Drug Administration approved the first-ever drug to rely on a Nobel-prize-winning technique that mutes disease-causing genes — a watershed moment for that field of research, ...
