摘要
Branched RNAs with three- or four-way junctions were designed by assembling single-stranded RNA for RNA interference. Human Dicer transformed branched RNAs into about 20 base pairs of double-stranded RNA, which is a standard siRNA species. Our tetramer design provides a potent silencing effect over a period of 5 days.
