"silence the expression" is correct and usable in written English.
You could use this phrase to refer to quieting an expression of opinion or emotion, such as "The crowd grew silent as the speaker silenced their expressions of dissent."
As implemented in Drosophila, the toxin consists of maternally-expressed miRNAs that silence the expression of a maternally expressed gene whose product is required for embryogenesis, thereby creating a maternal-effect lethal phenotype in all progeny.
To investigate the functional association of ΔNp63α and GLI2 in OS, we used siRNA technology to silence the expression of p63 in invasive OS cells that expressed high levels of endogenous ΔNp63α.
The TsNd-specific double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) was designed to silence the expression of TsNd in T. spiralis larvae.
Short-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) have engendered much enthusiasm for their ability to silence the expression of specific genes.
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) can silence the expression of a targeted gene in a process known as RNA interference (RNAi).
To test this hypothesis, we introduced the XIK1Ri construct into ProA-Xa21 homozygous rice lines to silence the expression of XIK1 in Xa21 stable transgenic plants.
It has been demonstrated that small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can silence the expression of target genes in a sequence-specific manner in mammalian cells.
The potential to silence the expression of any cancer-relevant protein with high selectivity promotes RNAi therapeutics as a more effective and safer treatment to traditional approaches.
Double-stranded RNA can silence the expression of a gene with a corresponding sequence, a process called RNA interference (RNAi).
For instance, aberrant DNA methylation could silence the expression of tumor suppressor genes in leukemia whereas overexpression of the histone methyltransferase, EZH2, a subunit of the polycomb group repressive complex 2 (promotesoncogenesisgenesis (Momparler et al., 2012).
To further identify the role of OsHsp18.0-CI in rice-Xoc interactions, we introduced the OsHsp18.0-CI-RNAi construct (CD40R) into Shengdao 806 to silence the expression of OsHsp18.0-CI by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.
