The use of the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway to eliminate gene products has greatly
facilitated the understanding of gene function. Behind this remarkable pathway is an intricate
network of proteins that ensures the degradation of the target mRNA. In this review, we
explore the history of RNAi as well as highlighting recent discoveries.—Sen, GL, Blau, HM A
