Abstract excerpt
Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) produced through the processing of viral double-stranded RNAs mediate potent antiviral RNA interference (RNAi) in eukaryotes. In Caenorhabditis elegans, such an antiviral defense is further amplified through the production of secondary siRNAs, yet the mechanisms by which secondary virus-derived siRNAs (vsiRNAs) confer protection remain poorly understood. Here, we characterize the...
