Unlocking the potential of the human genome with RNA interference

Hannon, G. J., Rossi, J. J. (September 2004) Unlocking the potential of the human genome with RNA interference. Nature, 431 (7006). pp. 371-8. ISSN 1476-4687 (Electronic)

Abstract

The discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) may well be one of the transforming events in biology in the past decade. RNAi can result in gene silencing or even in the expulsion of sequences from the genome. Harnessed as an experimental tool, RNAi has revolutionized approaches to decoding gene function. It also has the potential to be exploited therapeutically, and clinical trials to test this possibility are already being planned.
