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.

What molecule helps code the DNA?
lets take this section of DNA ATAGCCATA DNA polymerase codes for the antisense (not mirror) strand. this would be TATCGGTAT
Which type of RNA makes protein?
1. mRNA - provides 'template' for protein 2. tRNA - carries amino acids 3. microRNA/siRNA - regulate protein production
What the difference between rna and dna in number of strands?
the difference between DNA and RNA AS DNA ARE DOUBLE STANDED AND RNA IS SINGLE STANDED
Does RNA include Guanine?
Yes! The only difference in RNA from DNA is that RNA has Uracil instead of Thymine.
Difference between protein splicing and RNA splicing?
The difference id the complex procedure which allows the splicing to take place the difference is the scientists who do the process Tocans splice the protein while giraffs splice the RNA
What is the siRNA gene associated with?
siRNA stands for small interfering RNA, and it is a double stranded molecule that plays a variety of roles in the expression of biology in the container of the RNA.
What is an asRNA?
An asRNA is an antisense RNA, a single-stranded RNA which is complemenetary to a messenger RNA strand transcribed within a cell.
What impact did Antisense technology have on cells?
it bind with sence rna and inhibit the process of tranlation mainly antisence rna is laboratory synthesis oligonucleotide 20-30 nucleotides
Which RNA is involved in transcription?
Although miRNA and siRNA both have gene regulation functions, there are subtle differences. MiRNA may be slightly shorter than siRNA (which has 20 to 25 nucleotides). MiRNA is single-stranded, while siRNA is formed from two complementary strands. The two kinds of RNA are encoded slightly differently in the genome. And the mechanism by which they regulate genes is slightly different.MiRNA attaches to a piece of messenger RNA (mRNA) -- which is the master template for building a protein -- in a non-coding part at one end of the molecule. This acts as a signal to prevent translation of the mRNA into a protein. SiRNA, on the other hand, attaches to a coding region of mRNA, and so it physically blocks translation.

How mi RNA differ from si RNA?
MicroRNA are usually 22 nucleotides long, and are post-transcriptional regulators. Small interfering RNAs are usually 20-25 nucleotides long, and are mostly involved with the disruption of gene expression. siRNA is also double-stranded.
Difference between the DNA and RNA?
the difference is that DNA is a double helix and RNA is a single chain
What the difference between rna and dna in number of strands?
the difference between DNA and RNA AS DNA ARE DOUBLE STANDED AND RNA IS SINGLE STANDED
What is an open complex?
An open complexAn open complex is the complex of RNA polymerase and one DNA strand (The antisense strand) while a Closed complex is the complex of RNA Polymerase when it is bound to the double stranded DNA. The RNA Polymerase first creates the closed compex. The open complex is created when the double stranded DNA is separated to two strands.
Does RNA include Guanine?
Yes! The only difference in RNA from DNA is that RNA has Uracil instead of Thymine.
What is the role in the 3 types of Rna in gene expression?
The central dogma of molecular biology has been: DNA makes RNA; RNA makes proteins. Proteins carry out the bulk of functions involved in running a living organism.
