| RNA |
RNA is the generic term for polynucleotides, similar to DNA but containing ribose in place of deoxyribose and uracil in place of thymine. These molecules are involved in the transfer of information from DNA, programming protein synthesis and maintaining ribosome structure. The 4 main types of RNA are heterogeneous nuclear RNA (hRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA).

| RNA interference |
RNA interference is a process initiated by double stranded RNA which inhibits gene expression in a sequence-dependent fashion. This process was recently discovered in human cells and speculations remain as to its physiological meaning. Meanwhile, RNA interference has emerged as a powerful gene silencing technique, useful in research and therapy development.
