Abstract excerpt
Highly repetitive and transposable element rich regions of the genome must be stabilized by the presence of heterochromatin. A direct role for RNA interference in the establishment of heterochromatin has been demonstrated in fission yeast. In metazoans, which possess multiple RNA-silencing pathways that are both functionally distinct and spatially restricted, whether RNA silencing contributes directly to...
