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 1, English, - post%2Dtranscriptional%20gene%20silencing

Epigenic silencing of transgene and endogenous genes can occur at the transcriptional level (TGS) or at the post-transcriptional level (PTGS). 4, record 1, English, - post%2Dtranscriptional%20gene%20silencing

post-transcriptional silencing: Elliptical form of "post-transcriptional gene silencing." As the term "silencing" can only apply in this context to genes, the term "gene" can be removed. 5, record 1, English, - post%2Dtranscriptional%20gene%20silencing
