that they target. Which of? I think it is because RNA interference is more potent.... what do you biology nerds think...??

PLEASE HELP!!!

In terms of dose needed, RNAi is more potent. However, it is less specific than some forms of antisense, interacting with off-target RNA and triggering cellular antiviral responses.
