Abstract excerpt
RNAi is a conserved mechanism in which small RNAs induce silencing of complementary targets. We have previously identified priRNAs, a class of Dicer-independent small RNAs in fission yeast. The mechanism by which Dicer-independent small RNAs are generated is not well understood in any species. Here we reconstitute the final steps of priRNA and siRNA biogenesis in vitro. We identify the 3'-5' exonuclease Triman...
