摘要：

Since its discovery 10 years ago, RNA interference (RNAi) has evolved from a research tool into a powerful method for altering the phenotype of cells and whole organisms. Its near universal applicability coupled with its pinpoint accuracy for suppressing target proteins has altered the landscape of many fields. While there is considerable intellectual investment in therapeutics, its potential extends far beyond. In this review, we explore some of these emerging applications - metabolic engineering for enhancing recombinant protein production in both insect and mammalian cell systems, antisense technologies in bacteria as next generation antibiotics, and RNAi in plant biotechnology for improving productivity and nutritional value.
