RNA interference (RNAi), the process by which double stranded RNA induces the silencing of endogenous genes through the degradation of its correspondent messenger RNA, has been used for post-transcriptional gene silencing allowing scientists to better understand gene function, becoming a powerful tool in reverse genetics for in vivo and in vitro systems.
