How is RNA interference (RNAI) used as a form of gene therapy? O Small pieces of RNAI are used to silence the expression of specific alleles. O Stem cells are removed from a patient, injected with large pieces of RNAI that carry the gene recipe for a particular enzyme, and returned to the body of the patient. O Small pieces of RNAI are used to map the location of specific genes that need to be edited out of the genome. O Large pieces of RNAI are directly injected into the damaged cells of a patient in order to deliver functional gene recipes.
