RNA interference: dicer-substrate small-interfering RNA (DsiRNA) processing in mammalian systems. Steps illustrated include from top left: the Dicer enzyme processing DsiRNAs into 21-base siRNAs; RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) assembly; and the guiding of the RISC complex to its complementary target mRNA, which is finally cleaved by the Ago2 protein.
