Abstract

This article investigates the role of RNA interference (RNAi) in regulating gene expression at the molecular level. Through a series of experiments, we demonstrate how RNAi can selectively inhibit gene activity, offering potential therapeutic strategies for genetic disorders. Our research provides insight into the mechanisms of gene silencing and highlights the therapeutic potential of RNAi in treating diseases caused by gene overexpression.
