Abstract: RNA interference (RNAi) is induced by double-stranded RNA and result in specific degradation of double-stranded mRNA in cell,and it belongs to post-transcriptional gene silencing mechanism. RNAi has been extensively used as a novel and effective tool for functional genomic studies，and has displayed great potential in treating human and animal diseases. The paper aims to summarise the process of RNAi and make statement about biogenesis of small RNAs,safeguards and regulation of silengcing pathways.

Key words: small RNA; small interference RNA; RISC; Argonaute protein
