The crystal-Stellate system is one of the most known example of interaction between heterochromatin and euchromatin: a heterochromatic locus on the Y chromosome (crystal) 'represses' a euchromatic locus (Stellate) on the X chromosome in Drosophila melanogaster. The molecular mechanism regulating this interaction is not completely understood. It is becoming clear that an RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism could be...
