    Study Notes

    RNAi Function and Mechanism

    • The natural function of RNAi is to silence genes, a process that helps to protect cells against viruses and other foreign invaders.

    RNAi Mechanism

    • siRNA (small interfering RNA) is involved in target recognition and gene silencing.

    Control Experiment

    • Injecting sense RNA specific for gene par-1 in the control experiment resulted in no gene silencing.

    Evolutionary Conservation of RNAi

    • RNAi shows evolutionary conservation in organisms such as plants, fungi, and animals.

    Ronald van Rij's Lecture

    • The topic of Ronald van Rij's lecture on September 12 was RNAi (RNA interference).
