Engineering of piRNA Generating Synthetic RNAs for Greater Stability and Subcellular Targeting
This invention is for a novel bioinsecticide for use in combatting Bemisia tabaci B mitotype NAF-ME cryptic species, the whitefly pest. This new method utilizes piRNA gene splicing techniques to incite lethal phenotypes into the target with increased targeting and specificity for use in other mechanisms. Background: RNAi technology falls under the...

An Alternative Mode of RNA Interference Triggered through Feeding Synthetic RNAs that are Processed into piRNAs
This invention describes a new method of the widely-used RNA interference technique with potential clinical and research applications. Background: RNA interference is a commonly used method to knockdown or “silence” genes. This is typically done using small interfering RNA (siRNA) probes designed with specificity to bind and tag certain...
