- Small oligomer of synthetic nucleotide analogues that block gene expression
- 25bp length
- attaches to mRNA, pre/mature, to cause gene knockdown
- Used as gene knockdown tool on zebra fish
On mature mRNA:
- attaches to AUG blocking ribosome interaction
On pre-mRNA:
- sits on splice site, an intron-exon junction, making a double stranded RNA, blocking spliceosome which will create truncated/no protein
