Abstract: RNA interference (RNAi) is the process of sequence-specific post-transcriptional gene silencing in animals and plants initiated by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA).The application of RNAi and the studies on the molecular mechanism under RNAi can lead to the development of new strategies for blocking gene function and may yield RNA-based drugs to treat human genetic disease.
