Understanding RNA interference and its role in gene regulation
1:20:10 - 1:29:37 (09:27)
The mechanism of RNA interference works through small RNA molecules that have the ability to regulate the expression of specific genes. Researchers have been able to demonstrate the role of double-stranded RNA in silencing genes, leading to a better understanding of the control mechanisms of gene regulation.

Summary
Worms and planaria can have their gene functions silenced through RNA interference caused by consuming double-stranded RNA or being injected with it. This RNA silencing can occur throughout the body and be passed on to successive generations.
