Metabolic engineering has the potential to produce chemicals, fuels, drugs and more at industrial levels in a cost effective manner by manipulation of enzymatic, transport and regulatory function within cells. Small regulatory RNAs (sRNAs) play a key role in up and down regulation of genes associated with biosynthetic pathway for increasing production level. Therefore, sRNA is a rapid, sensitive and versatile tool for microbial engineering.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
