Evolution of plasticity in production and transgenerational inheritance of small RNAs under dynamic environmental conditions.

PLoS genetics - 1 May 2021

Silva Willian T A F, Otto Sarah P, Immler Simone

Abstract excerpt

In a changing environment, small RNAs (sRNAs) play an important role in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression and can vary in abundance depending on the conditions experienced by an individual (phenotypic plasticity) and its parents (non-genetic inheritance). Many sRNAs are unusual in that they can be produced in two ways, either using genomic DNA as the template (primary sRNAs) or existing sRNAs...
