RNA Silencing
RNA Silencing is a process by which small, double-stranded RNA molecules, called small interfering RNA (siRNA) and micro-RNA (miRNA), play a role in blocking gene expression. The process plays an important role in regulating gene expression and defending cells against viruses, which is extremely important for maintaining the health of an organism. It is also used in genetic engineering, allowing for the introduction of specific genes into a cell and has been used in therapeutic applications to target disease-causing genes. RNA Silencing is a powerful tool for scientific study and offers the potential for widespread applications.
