what relation does it have to medicine?
It was observed that introducing sense and antisense RNA to par-1 mRNA in "Caenorhabditis elegans" caused degradation of the par-1 message.
RNA interference

what is rna interference? It is a biological process. what does it do? RNA molecules inhibit gene expression or translation, by neutralizing targeted mRNA molecules. what does rna stand for? Ribonucleic acid how has it evolved? UNANSWERABLE

RNA interference [SEP] Medicine
History of RNAi use in medicine The first instance of RNA silencing in animals was documented in 1996, when Guo and Kemphues observed that, by introducing sense and antisense RNA to par-1 mRNA in "Caenorhabditis elegans" caused degradation of the par-1 message. It was thought that this degradation was triggered by single-stranded RNA (ssRNA), but two years later, in 1998, Fire and Mello discovered that this ability to silence the par-1 gene expression was actually triggered by double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). They would eventually share the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for this discovery. Just after Fire and Mello's ground-breaking discovery, Elbashir et al.
