Abstract

The present invention relates to RNAi constructs with minimal double-stranded regions, and their use in gene silencing. RNAi constructs associated with the invention include a double stranded region of 8-14 nucleotides and a variety of chemical modifications, and are highly effective in gene silencing. The RNAi constructs may be, for instance, miRNA constructs that are miRNA modulators.
