Double-stranded RNA is processed by the enzyme Dicer into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), which can then bind to target mRNA molecules and trigger their degradation by the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). This results in the destruction of the target mRNA, but not necessarily the disruption of the target DNA sequence or the destruction of the target protein.
