Abstract:
RNA interference is an evolutionarily conserved surveillance mechanism that responds to double-stranded RNA by sequence-specific silencing of homologous genes. It can block and regulate gene expression. Over the past few years, RNAi has already begun to revolutionize experimental biology in organisms ranging from unicellular protozoans to mammals. In neuroscience, we are only begining to know the mechanistic complexity of this process and its biological ramifications.
