ABSTRACT
Biotechnology is a fast-changing field, and Ribonucleic acid (RNA) technology has acted as a major driving force in this. RNA, which is vital to life, has led to revolutionary changes in therapeutics, especially RNA-based vaccines and RNA interference (RNAi) therapies. This mini-review discusses the current state of research in RNA, including mRNA therapeutics, RNAi, and CRISPR-Cas systems, which are innovative RNA research products. These advancements not only offer new treatments for diseases but also lead to various career prospects. The review also highlighted the essential skills and educational pathways for aspiring professionals in this area. As a result, this review serves as an extensive go-between in navigating through the vigorous world of RNA technologies by providing information about skill requirements and even career opportunities available. The review made use of the most recent research and advancements in RNA technology from credible online resources, scholarly journals, and conference proceedings.
