RNA干涉及其应用 摘要 RNA干涉（RNAi）是将双链导入细胞引起特异基因mRNA降解的一种细胞反应过程.它是转录后基因沉默的一种。RNAi发生过程主要分为3个阶段:起始阶段，扩增阶段，效应阶段。RNAi在生物界中广泛存在.综述RNAi现象的发现、发生机制及其应用,并展望未来的研究. 关键词 RNA干涉 RNA干涉应用 RNA interference and its application Abstract Introduction of double-stranded RNA into cells can induce specific mRNA degradation. This process is called RNA interference(RNAi). It is a kind of post-transcriptional gene silencing. RNAi patlway can be divided into three step: initiation step, amplification step and effector step . RNAi exists in a wide variety of organisms. The discovery , mechanism and application were reviewed i
