Preferred Label : gene knockdown techniques;
MeSH definition : The artificial induction of GENE SILENCING by the use of RNA INTERFERENCE to reduce
the expression of a specific gene. It includes the use of DOUBLE-STRANDED RNA, such
as SMALL INTERFERING RNA and RNA containing HAIRPIN LOOP SEQUENCE, and ANTI-SENSE
OLIGONUCLEOTIDES.;
