RNA interference is one of the hottest topics in molecular biology and the most widely used method for determining gene function. Principles of RNAi provides a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the technology, covering all. the key background, including: * history and significance of RNA silencing * mechanism of RNA interference * RNA silencing as a biological and an evolutionary process * practical aspects of RNAi in vertebrates, plants, invertebrates, and microbes * research applications in biology, medicine and pharmacology This book describes the principles of the methodology, discusses what hasworked and what has not worked, and explains how the technology can be put to practical use. Principles of RNAi is essential reading for every molecular biologist wishing to understand this technique in detail: from student to professor. It is especially useful for those wishing to use this approach successfully in their research.
