siRNA vs miRNA: 17 Major Differences (Updated)
siRNA vs miRNA- There are two types of nucleic acids- DNA and RNA; and are different in terms of structure and function. DNA is double-stranded while RNA is single-stranded, usually. …

RNA Interference (RNAi): A Process Of Gene silencing
“A sequence-specific mRNA degradation is governed by the smaller dsRNA mediated process called the RNAi or RNA interference.” RNA interference often abbreviated as RNAi, is a process in which the …

microRNA (miRNA) and Gene Regulation
“The microRNA often abbreviated as miRNA is made up of 20 to 25 nucleotide short stretch of the single-stranded hairpin RNA, involved in the genetic regulation.” Different ribonucleic acids, RNAs …
What Is shRNA (Short-hairpin RNA)?
“The shRNA is an artificial dsRNA loop or hairpin applicable in the gene silencing studies which rely on the mechanism of RNA interference.” The mechanism of shRNA action is similar …
siRNA (Small Interfering RNA): Structure And Function
“The siRNA or small interfering RNA is a 22 to 25 base pair long smaller molecules of dsRNA having a dinucleotide overhang at the 3’ end, interfere in the protein …
