In the RNA interference mechanism, double‐stranded RNA (dsRNA) is chopped into short (21‐25 nucleotides) interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules possessing dinucleotide overhangs on the 3′ termini. One siRNA strand is integrated into the RNA‐induced silencing complex (RISC) that finally degrades the complementary target mRNA
