Abstract excerpt
RNA interference (RNAi) is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that defends against viral infections in diverse organisms. Caenorhabditis elegans mutations that enhance RNAi have revealed pathways that may regulate antiviral defense. A genetic screen for C. elegans mutations that fail to up-regulate a defense response reporter transgene detected mutations that enhance RNAi to silence this reporter gene in the...
