Molecular Properties, Functional Mechanisms, and Applications of Sliced siRNA

Using pre-miR-451 as a model molecule, we have characterized the general molecular properties of small hairpin RNAs that are processed into potent small interfering RNAs (siRNA) by Argonaute2 (Ago2). The Ago2-sliced siRNAs (sli-siRNAs) have the same silencing potency as the classical Dicer diced siR...
