Once there, the precursors are cut into siRNAs or miRNAs by a protein called Dicer. Next, the small RNA pieces are incorporated into something called the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC).

These complex abilities are powered by ... the bread is the protein your body wants to make, and the RNA is the copy of the recipe that explains how to do it. RNA doesn't tend to change all ...
