ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods for inhibiting target gene expression, by expressing in a cell a nucleic acid construct comprising an inverted repeat and a sense or antisense region having substantial sequence identity to a target gene, wherein the inverted repeat is unrelated to the target gene.
