Target-dependent siRNA suppression distinguishes self from non-self endogenous siRNAs in <i>C. elegans</i> germline
2022-01-26
Abstract excerpt
Despite their prominent role in transposon silencing, expression of endo-siRNAs is not limited to the “non-self” DNA elements. Transcripts of protein-coding genes (“self” DNA) in some cases also produce endo-siRNAs in yeast, plants, and animals [1]. How cells distinguish these two populations of siRNAs to prevent unwanted silencing of self-genes in animals is not well understood. To address this question, we exami...
