RNAinterferenssiin
RNAinterferenssi, often abbreviated as RNAi, is a natural biological process found in most eukaryotic organisms. It is a mechanism that regulates gene expression by silencing messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules. This silencing prevents the mRNA from being translated into proteins, effectively turning off specific genes.
The RNAi pathway is triggered by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). When dsRNA is present in the cell, an
