Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Antisense RNA is a single stranded RNA which is complementary to messenger RNA (m-RNA)strand. Small interfering RNA ($\text{siRNA}$ ) and micro RNA are the antisense RNAs. Small interfering RNA is a double stranded RNA molecule. They are also known as short interfering RNA or silencing RNA. MicroRNA is a small non coding RNA molecule. It is generally found in the plants, animals, and some viruses. It is having same length as that of small interfering RNA that is $20-25$ bp in length.
