Abstract excerpt
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) mediated gene silencing (RNA interference; RNAi) is a powerful tool for investigating gene function. It is usually performed in Caenorhabditis elegans via the injection or oral delivery of dsRNA, but an alternative approach, the expression of RNA hairpins from introduced DNA (hairpin RNAi; hpRNAi) has several advantages: (1) it can be induced systemically or in a tissue-specific...
