RNA Interference: from Serendipity to Application to Functional Genomics
King-Song Jeng
(Associate Specialist, Institute of Molecular Biology/
Manager of National RNAi Core Facility)
Some of the most important discoveries occurred through serendipity, i.e. accidental discovery. For instance, in 1928 Alexander Fleming observed that microbes were attenuated by invading fungus. This accidental discovery resulted in the discovery of the world's first antibiotic or bacteria killer. The discovery of RNA interference (RNAi), a form of post-transcriptional gene silencing that mimics the effect of loss-of-gene-function, also is a scientific serendipity, which involves several intriguing, quirky and surprising events.
