Question
Chapter 13.3, Problem 2EQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which the sense and antisense mex-3 RNAs were made.
Introduction: Caenorhabditis elegans was used by Fire and Mello in an experiment to study gene expression. The experiment showed that for silencing mRNA, double-stranded RNA can be used instead of antisense RNA. On injecting RNA, the effect of it was seen on the expression of particular mRNAs.
