Abstract
The present invention provides asymmetrical duplex RNA molecules that are capable of effecting sequence-specific gene silencing. The RNA molecule comprises a first strand and a second strand. The first strand is longer than the second strand. The RNA molecule comprises a double-stranded region formed by the first strand and the second strand, and two ends independently selected from the group consisting of 5′-overhang, 3′-overhang, and blunt end. The RNA molecules of the present invention can be used as research tools and/or therapeutics.
