Answer to Question 1

Another technology aimed at drug development is called RNA interference or RNAi. RNA stands for ribonucleic acid. It is made in the nucleus of a cell but is not restricted to the nucleus. It is a long, coiled molecule whose purpose is to take the blueprint from deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and build our actual proteins. RNAi is a process that cells use to turn off genes. The attempt at developing drugs based on RNAi is in its infancy and would, if successful, turn off genes associated with disease. Previous attempts at turning off genes with drugs have not succeeded.
