Detailed explanation-1: -Post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) is one mechanism that degrades specific messenger RNAs and thereby reduces the expression of a specific gene. PTGS has many names: cosuppression in plants, quelling in fungi and RNA interference in animals, but in all cases, degraded mRNA decreases gene expression.
Detailed explanation-2: -RNA silencing, also known as post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) or RNA interference (RNAi) is a mechanism regulating gene expression in a wide range of eukaryotes.
Detailed explanation-3: -coined the term RNA interference (RNAi) referring to the phenomenon of post-translational silencing of gene expression that occurs in response to the introduction of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) into a cell [1].
