RNA Interference & SIR2 & SCH9 Genes

[bioquest]

Can RNA interference be used to stop the expression of SIR2 and SCH9 genes? Is it unknown whether or not it can?

never mind about the 3rd question found out the only difference was whether or not the change is inherited

Hi Bioquest. I've noticed you've been making a lot of posts with very specific, fairly obscure questions. Perhaps you'd get a better response if you gave people more back ground information. A link to a website containing pertinent information would be especially helpful.

Why use RNA interference instead of deleting a gene? What could/would make that more beneficial?
