Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RNA interference (RNAi) involves double stranded RNA interfering with mRNA. This double stranded RNA can be naturally occurring in the cell or introduced through experimental techniques. The double stranded RNA is processed into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that target complementary mRNA molecules for degradation or translational repression. This process can regulate gene expression and is used as a research tool to study gene function.
