General Information
Term siRNA processing ID (Ontology) GO:0030422 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A process leading to the generation of a functional small interfering RNA (siRNA). Includes the cleavage of double-stranded RNA to form small interfering RNA molecules (siRNAs) of 21-23 nucleotides. May also include amplification of the siRNA by RNA-directed RNA polymerase.[ PubMed:11524674 PubMed:19239886 PubMed:20687832 ]
Also Known As "chromatin silencing by small RNA, production of guide RNAs" ; "chromatin silencing by small RNA, production of siRNA" ; "production of guide RNAs involved in chromatin silencing by small RNA" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
