New Transfection Systems Tackle Delivery Issues and Off-Target Effects Will RNAi-based therapeutics provide the next class of blockbuster drugs? If pharma’s acquisition spree of companies with ...

RNA interference (RNAi) is a method for targeted gene silencing. It is a highly valuable and widely used technique for the study of gene function and for drug discovery research. During RNAi, ...

Thanks to RNA interference it's easier than ever to perform genetic knockouts in cultured cells and live animals. The idea is simple enough: deliver a short interfering RNA (siRNA) for the desired ...
