Abstract excerpt
Quiescent cells play a predominant role in most organisms. Here we identify RNA interference (RNAi) as a major requirement for quiescence (G0 phase of the cell cycle) in Schizosaccharomyces pombe RNAi mutants lose viability at G0 entry and are unable to maintain long-term quiescence. We identified suppressors of G0 defects in cells lacking Dicer (dcr1Δ), which mapped to genes involved in chromosome segregation,...
