Silent genes and everlasting fruits and vegetables? ... An intriguing feature of gene silencing is that partial or almost complete gene inactivation can be obtained, depending on the position (and perhaps the structure and copy number) of the transgene. For both sense and antisense gene silencing, transformants can be selected where genetic change is stably inherited. 1, record 1, English, - gene%20silencing

Silenciamiento génico. Gen que no se expresa debido a la regulación epigenética. A diferencia de los genes que son mutantes debido a alteraciones en su secuencia de DNA, los genes inactivados mediante silenciamiento pueden volver a ser activados. 1, record 1, Spanish, - silenciamiento%20g%C3%A9nico

Using this knowledge, an emerging use of PTGS and, in particular, RNA interference (RNAi), the initiating of PTGS by introducing small (21-25 nucleotides) double-stranded RNA (siRNA), as a tool to knock out the expression of specific genes in a variety of organisms can be observed. 3, record 2, English, - post%2Dtranscriptional%20gene%20silencing

Epigenic silencing of transgene and endogenous genes can occur at the transcriptional level (TGS) or at the post-transcriptional level (PTGS). 4, record 2, English, - post%2Dtranscriptional%20gene%20silencing

post-transcriptional silencing: Elliptical form of "post-transcriptional gene silencing." As the term "silencing" can only apply in this context to genes, the term "gene" can be removed. 5, record 2, English, - post%2Dtranscriptional%20gene%20silencing
