CONT

L'interférence d'ARN [acide ribonucléique] est un mécanisme de régulation post-transcriptionnel physiologique très conservé dans l'évolution, conduisant à l'inhibition de l'expression génique. L'interférence est due au clivage des ARN double brin dans la cellule par des petites molécules d'ARN [...] qui ciblent des séquences complémentaires et entraînent la destruction de l'ARN sous l'effet d'un complexe comprenant une ribonucléase.
