    GlossaryRNA interference (RNAi)

    process where small RNA molecules silence specific genes

    RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process where small RNA molecules inhibit gene expression by neutralizing targeted mRNA molecules. This mechanism effectively "silences" specific genes, preventing them from producing proteins, and is used in research and medicine to study gene function and develop treatments for diseases.
