RNAi as a tool
In any case, the discovery of RNAi adds a promising tool to the toolbox of molecular biologists. Introducing dsRNA corresponding to a particular gene will knock out the cell's own expression of that gene. (Feeding C. elegans on E.

RNAi: 'RNA interference' (a.k.a. 'RNA silencing') is the mechanism by which small double-stranded RNAs can interfere with expression of any mRNA having a similar sequence. Those small RNAs are known as 'siRNA', for short interfering RNAs.

Gene silencing at this location depends on components of the RNAi pathway.

Another reverse genetics technique is the application of RNA interference. RNAi creates a specific knockout effect without actually mutating the DNA of interest. In C.

For example, the format should allow a researcher to note the presence of RNAi results overlapping the region of interest.
