RNAi: nature abhors a double-strand
György Hutvágner et al. Curr Opin Genet Dev. 2002 Apr.
Abstract
In organisms as diverse as nematodes, trypanosomes, plants, and fungi, double-stranded RNA triggers the destruction of homologous mRNAs, a phenomenon known as RNA interference. RNA interference begins with the transformation of the double-stranded RNA into small RNAs that then guide a protein nuclease to destroy their mRNA targets.
