siRNA refers to a small interfering RNA or sometimes known as
short interfering RNA or silencing RNA. It a class of
double-stranded RNA molecules, 20-25 nucleotides in length, that
play a variety of roles in biology. The most notable role of siRNA
is its involvement in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway, where it
interferes with the expression of a specific gene.whereas Antisense
RNA is a single-stranded RNA that is complementary to a messenger
RNA (mRNA) strand transcribed within a cell.
