RNA interference (RNAi) is triggered by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which is processed into small fragments that bind and degrade complementary mRNA, silencing that gene.

RNA interference (RNAi) is a natural cellular defence mechanism (also seen in some nematodes/plants against viruses and transposons, and exploited biotechnologically for gene silencing). It is triggered when a double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecule, complementary to the mRNA of a target gene, enters or is expressed inside a cell.
