Gene Expression Tools
There are many different techniques that are used for scientists to research and learn about genes and proteins and there function within the body. Each of these techniques can yield different information and have different purposes for a researcher.
RNAi
RNA interference is a technique used to learn about the function of a protein by silencing the mRNA. To learn more about this technique and how it pertains to CNGA3 click here
