Abstract:
RNA interference is a very important mechanism for the regulation of gene expression, participates in defense against viral infections, and keeps jumping genes under control. RNA interference has been taken as a powerful "gene silence" method widely used in basic science to study the function of genes, and it may lead to novel therapies in the future.
