We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

Background

RNA interference (RNAi) or post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) or RNA silencing is an evolutionarily conserved cellular response to the presence of double-stranded (ds) RNA that functions as a gene inactivation system in many eukaryotes and relies on tiny RNAs as the targeting molecules. One function of RNA silencing is to act in surveillance against molecular parasites, such as viruses, several of which rely on double-stranded RNA for replication.
