Summary Introduction
To explain:RNA interference represents a form of gene therapy.
Introduction:
Gene therapy is the insertion of genetic material into human cells to treat or prevent genetic disorder or any other disease.
RNA interference is a process in which small pieces of RNA used to inhibit the gene expression or translation of specific alleles.
