Rationale for change

Clarity

this change is to clarify the steps taken to degrade or silence target mRNA that are outlined in the "extra space"

- dsRNA is transfected into human cells
- Dicer enzyme cleaves dsRNA into small short-interferingRNA(siRNA) or microRNA(miRNA)
- Small RNAs associate with RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex)
- RISC binds to target complementary mRNA
1. exact match: cleave mRNA -> degradation
2. partial match: inhibit ribosome and transcription factor binding -> inhibit translation
