The first step towards understanding the link from the creation of energy to metabolism-related cellular function is called energy phenotyping. It requires the technology to measure energy-dependent changes in RNA-mediated metabolic switches via the RNA interference (RNAi) screening strategy. Endogenous RNAi must then be linked to the prevention of the virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA […]

We can also measure the activity […]
