Abstract excerpt
RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved mechanism in a wide range of eukaryotes. Introduction of synthetic dsRNA could specifically target suppression of a gene or could result in off-target silencing of another gene due to sequence similarity. To verify if the observed phenotype in an RNAi transgenic line is due to silencing of a specific gene or if it is due to another nontarget gene, a synthetic gene...
