I think this is a wonderful article, I found it extremely clear and interesting. Of course it's not aimed at a lay reader, but I think not all aticles can or should try to be. I think perhaps the opening paragraph could be worked on a bit, I juggled it perhaps not very successfully, but I'm happy to nominate this for approval when you want.

RNAi is ridiculously amazing. -Tom Kelly (Talk) 17:30, 16 December 2006 (CST)

Jargon

I think there's too much Jargon in this article. I can't find anywhere what RNA stands for or what RNA is. The article needs to be introduced in a more accessible manor. It should be understandable to someone who is form outside the Biology field. The reader is thrown in the deep end here. The most technical section, "Cellular and molecular mechanisms." is the first. The topic could be more gently ramped by giving the history and background information first and dealing with the technical descriptions nearer the end after the use has learned the background.

Also, what's with all the bold text. Words seem to be bold at random. Derek Harkness 05:04, 26 December 2006 (CST)


Thanks so much
