Silencing Viral Genes Beeologics' solution - Remebee - utilizes a mechanism called RNA interference (RNAi, also known as gene silencing) to hinder or inhibit gene expression. "The technology is based on naturally occurring biological agents. Conceptually, we're introducing the factor that prompts the silencing response," said Nitzan Paldi, the CTO at Beeologics. "We didn't invent gene silencing. However, as far as we know we are among the first to use it commercially on non-humans." Ben-Chanoch hopes that Remebee will just be the start for Beeologics. The businessman who founded GreenOvation Labs, a Florida-based business accelerator for innovative biotech technologies in 2007, hopes the company will become the 'go to' company for bee health. **************************************************** * General Information About BEE-L is available at: * * http://www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l/default.htm * ****************************************************
