Abstract
The present invention provides nucleic acid sequences and methods to define gene function. In particular, the present invention relates to reducing the levels of RNA encoded by a DNA sequence of interest using ribozymes. The present invention further relates to ribozyme sequences, recombinant expression vectors encoding ribozymes as well as host cells and transgenic organisms comprising such expression vectors, and the use of these compositions for the determination of gene function.
