RNA interference (RNAi) offers a fast and easy system to study gene functions. However, the traditionally used small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can exhibit pronounced and problematic off-target effects ...

The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...
