RNA silencing refers to a family of gene silencing effects by which the expression of one or more genes is downregulated or entirely suppressed by the introduction of an antisense RNA molecule. The most common and well-studied example is RNA interference, in which endogenously expressed microRNA or exogenously derived small interfering RNA induces the degradation of complementary messenger RNA.
