摘要:

RNA干扰(RNA interference,RNAi)是由双链RNA诱发而导致的同源mRNA高效特异性降解技术,已广泛运用于生命科学的各个领域。本文就RNAi的发现及其生物学意义、发生机制、在动物寄生线虫研究中的应用及其局限性等方面作一综述。

关键词: RNA干扰, 寄生线虫

Abstract:

RNA interference(RNAi) technique is a way by which the double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) intermediates the degradation of its homologous mRNA of given gene and specific inhibition of the gene expression subsequently in cells. It is widely applied in functional genomics studies in a wide range of organisms. This paper focuses on its discovery, biological significances, mechanism, and its application as well as the limitations in animal parasitic nematodes.

Key words: RNA interference, Parasitic nematode
