TED-ED: RNAi: Slicing, dicing and serving your cells - Alex Dainis

The video uses a kitchen analogy to explain how cells produce proteins based on DNA instructions. RNA acts as a messenger, but also plays roles in reverse transcription and RNA interference (RNAi). RNAi prevents unwanted protein expression by slicing mRNA. This process was discovered in petunias and C. elegans, leading to its use in research and potential medical applications, such as targeting cancer genes.
