The rde-1 gene locus was first characterized in C. elegans mutants resistant to RNAi, and is a member of a highly conserved Piwi gene family that includes plant, Drosophila, and vertebrate homologs.
The book describes best practices in the RDE from some of today's top companies: HP, Prego, Vlasic, MasterCard and others.
