Gene Silencing by microRNA

MicroRNAs are a class of small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression by inactivating messengerRNAs (mRNA) and have a big impact on many biological processes. This medical 3D animation shows the biogenesis and function of microRNAs within the cell. The goal of the project was to arouse interest by presenting the topic of gene silencing in a simplified and visually appealing way. It was part of my master`s graduation project where I had the opportunity to combine my two different studies Information Design and Molecular Biology.
