Small interfering RNAs (siRNA) are the mediators of gene-specific silencing by RNA interference. SiRNA stands for small interfering RNA duplexes. They are typically 21-23 bp in length. SiRNA were either chemically synthesised for experimental purposes or produced by Dicer-mediated cleavage of long double-stranded RNA. [Pg.1133]
