Previous work found that certain short RNAs can induce cell death in a RISC-dependent fashion by targeting several networks of survival genes simultaneously, therefore triggering multiple cell death pathways. This form of cell death was named death induced by survival gene elimination, or DISE, an effect that depends on a toxic 6-mer seed.
