Gene Silencing technique aims to eliminate or reduce production of a protein from its Gene by making DNA into heterochromatin DNA which is silent DNA.

Gene expression can be reduced by the introduction of small noncoding RNA molecules that inhibits RNA translation by RNA interference (RNAi) process.

WHY GENE SILENCING IS IMPORTANT ?

1) Small interfering RNAs (siRNA) is used to induce silencing to identify the function of genes.

2) Gene silencing is highly active study of researchers that studies essential genes.

3) It is used to identify the development of diseases as diseases associated with particular genes have a reduced expression.
