RNA interference (RNAi) is a regulatory mechanism of most eukaryotic cells that control the activity of genes. It is a process in which a small double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecule blocks the expression of a gene by binding to its messenger RNA (mRNA) transcript, preventing the protein from being translated.
RNAi is a key biological process in which Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) molecules inhibit gene expression or translation.
The full form of RNAi is RNA interference
