RNAi sequences are designed to be complementary to the mRNA transcribed by a gene of interest.Once the complementary RNA sequences enter the cell,they bind with the target RNA,producing double-stranded RNA molecules.These double-stranded RNA molecules are then broken down by a series of enzymes within the cell.Research into developing RNAi treatments for a number of human diseases,including cancer and hepatitis,is currently underway.
