explain the concept of rna interference.
user
rna interference (rnai) is a process by which rna molecules can suppress the expression of specific genes. it involves introducing double-stranded rna molecules that are complementary to the target gene, which triggers the degradation of the mrna of the target gene, thus preventing the translation of the mrna into a protein. this process is involved in the regulation of gene expression and is important for a variety of biological processes.
