What is RNAi?

RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process in which RNA molecules inhibit gene expression or translation, by neutralizing targeted mRNA molecules. It is commonly used in research to silence specific genes in order to study their function or as a potential therapeutic approach to treat diseases by silencing genes that contribute to the disease.

What other technologies are related to RNAi?

RNAi Competitor Technologies

CRISPR is a gene editing technology that, like RNAi, can be used to silence or modify gene expression, offering an alternative approach to achieve similar therapeutic or research goals.
