Objective Recently, a naturally occurring gene silencing mechanism triggered by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), RNA interference (RNAi), has been described in a number of species including Drosophila.

目的近年来，双链rna介导的基因沉默(RNA干扰)已在许多动植物中发现，并成为研究基因功能的强有力的工具。

What's more, later research would reveal that genes that create this kind of RNA--known as RNAi, for RNA interference--existed in plants, fruit flies and even people.

Insert Therapeutics and Intradigm are also working on targeted treatments, but both companies are also exploring the use of a Nobel Prize-winning therapy based on RNA interference (RNAi).

Now a similar sea change may be afoot, thanks to a new technology called RNA interference, or RNAi, which allows scientists to stop a disease by silencing a particular gene.
