Abstract

Recently, much research on constitutive expression of an intron-containing self-complementary hair-pin RNA (ihpRNA) have been reported to silence target genes efficiently in a variety of species. Here we designed a new recombinant-PCR mediated method called direct amplification of ihpRNA from genomic DNA. This approach has proved to be easy, stable, and efficient.
