Abstract excerpt
Small interfering RNA (siRNA) duplexes induce the specific cleavage of target RNAs in mammalian cells. Their involvement in down-regulation of gene expression is termed RNA interference (RNAi). It is widely believed that RNAi predominates in the cytoplasm. We report here the co-existence of cytoplasmic and nuclear RNAi phenomena in primary human myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) cells by targeting myotonic...
