This lecture provides a comprehensive overview of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and their critical role in gene silencing in both plants and animals. We explore siRNA synthesis and function, comparing paradigms in plant biology with those in animal systems. Additionally, we discuss various types of small silencing RNAs, their biogenesis, and their involvement in silencing pathways, with a special focus on the insights provided by Ghildiyal and Zamore in the realm of small RNA research.
