SIRNA GENE THERAPY: A REVIEW

RNA inference is new concept in gene therapy it acts by expression of specific genes to treat various diseases like cancer. It is also called as RNAi. In presence of dicer enzyme long double stranded RNA (dsRNA) is cut to small interfering RNAs called SiRNAs. SiRNAs are part of RNAi. It is mainly pursued for cancer therapy. It is the new promising agent which can produce specific gene expression and also post transcriptional gene regulation process for disease treatment. In this current review I gathered lots of basic information about SiRNA like its structure, design, delivery system etc in short sweet manner.
