Summary
Small Interfering RNA
(siRNA) is a class of
Double-stranded RNA
molecules, 20-25 base pairs in length, that play a crucial role in the
RNA Interference
(RNAi) pathway, where they interfere with the expression of specific genes with
Complementary nucleotide sequences
. This mechanism is widely used in research and
Therapeutic Applications
to
Silence genes
and study
Gene Function
or
Treat diseases
by targeting and degrading
MRNA molecules
before they can be
Translated into proteins
.
