An amazing animation from Nature Reviews Genetics, based on the latest research, explains how RNAi works and introduces the two main players: small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs).
RNA interference (RNAi) is an important process used by many different organisms to regulate the activity of genes.
The animation takes you on an audio-visual journey through the steps of gene expression and shows you an up-to-date view of how RNAi can silence specific mRNAs in the cytoplasm.
A slideshow provides further explanations.
