Using this knowledge, an emerging use of PTGS and, in particular, RNA interference (RNAi), the initiating of PTGS by introducing small (21-25 nucleotides) double-stranded RNA (siRNA), as a tool to knock out the expression of specific genes in a variety of organisms can be observed. 3, record 2, English, - post%2Dtranscriptional%20gene%20silencing
