RNA interference (RNAi) involves the use of easily generated RNA fragments to down-regulate gene expression in a highly specific manner. Since its discovery, about seven years ago, the method has quickly evolved and is now a routine application in many molecular laboratories. Recent success in treating animal models of disease indicates that RNAi also has the potential to treat human disease.
