RNA Interference
RNA interference (RNAi) is an evolutionarily conserved process that uses small double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules to direct degradation of mRNAs with complementary sequences. RNAi is involved in the control of gene expression in diverse biological processes, including developmental timing, antiviral defense, and protection against transposons. It has also become a powerful research tool, allowing researchers to manipulate gene expression by introducing dsRNA molecules into cells or organisms. RNAi is a transformative approach to gene silencing and has numerous applications in clinical and biomedical research.
