RNAi is a method of cellular defense in all eukaryotes. It is a system within living cells that helps to control the activity of specific genes. This method involves silencing of mRNA due to complementary double stranded RNA that prevents translation of target gene or mRNA [silencing]. Source of ds RNA is retrovirus (having RNA genome) or transposons (mobile genetic material).
