Summary

But sometimes that means inhibiting some other RNA that got the recipe wrong. This process is called RNA interference (RNAi), and it acts as a self-correcting system within the complicated genetic kitchen of your body. Alex Dainis explains the importance -- and exciting potential -- of RNAi. Lesson by Alex Dainis, animation by Cinematic Sweden. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
