RNAi Discovered

Summary

The video titled 'RNAi Discovered' explains the RNA interference mechanism and its potential in gene function studies and treatments. It narratively describes how RNA operates within cells, using metaphors to simplify complex biological processes, and ultimately elaborates on the accidental discovery of RNAi through genetic experiments with petunias.
