I must correct you here. Fire et al actually first made the discovery back in 1997 doing some work on a nematode. RNAi basically a method of post transcriptional gene regulation tht has shown huge potential for treating various infections and diseases. I have wrotten several reports and presentations on the subject, and i think it is about time the Fire and Mello recieved the Nobel Prize for Medicine.
If you want a copy of a presentation i did recently, then drop me an e-mail. I will be more than happy to explain it to you if you like.
This is quite a good site: http://www.life.uiuc.edu/shapiro/RNAiApps.html
