Systems Biology
RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process where RNA molecules inhibit gene expression or translation, effectively silencing specific genes. This mechanism is essential for regulating gene expression and maintaining cellular homeostasis, as well as playing a significant role in the immune response against viral infections and transposable elements. RNAi has been widely studied for its potential applications in therapeutic strategies and understanding the robustness of biological networks.
