RNAi and Related Patentability Issues

By P. Kandiah & Sharrmila Palanyandy RNA interference (RNAi) is an evolutionally highly conserved process of post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGs) by which double-stranded RNA (ds RNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences. RNAi is a biological process in which RNA molecules inhibit gene expression, typically by causing the destruction of specific mRNA molecules. RNAi technology
