The second advantage of RNAi is its ability to efficiently accomplish gene silencing, given that it is able to target many genes complementary to RNAi. That being said, one of the major drawbacks of RNAi is that it is only genetic silencing. It silences the gene but does not eliminate it completely, otherwise known as gene knockout. Additionally, according to genengnews.com, “researchers have demonstrated that RNAi sequences do not only bind to a single target” (www.genengnews.com). In other words, it can target genes erratically or off-target. That being said, RNAi could be dangerous and
