Re: rna interference

... animal genomes, the double-stranded RNA is manufactured by cleaving a hairpin twice. In animals, the RNA is transcribed as a single strand of RNA ... In the nucleus, the hairpin is cleaved by Drosha releasing a stem-loop. The hairpin is exported into the cytoplasm and then is cleaved by Dicer, ...
