Transposon silencing in the Caenorhabditis elegans germ line by natural RNAi.

Nature - 20 Nov 2003

Sijen Titia, Plasterk Ronald H A

Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements are stretches of DNA that can move and multiply within the genome of an organism. The Caenorhabditis elegans genome contains multiple Tc1 transposons that jump in somatic cells, but are silenced in the germ line. Many mutants that have lost this silencing have also lost the ability to execute RNA interference (RNAi), a process whereby genes are suppressed by exposure to homologous...
