RNA-mediated nucleosome depletion is required for elimination of transposon-derived DNA
2022-01-05
Abstract excerpt
Small RNAs are known to mediate silencing of transposable elements and other genomic loci, increasing nucleosome density and preventing undesirable gene expression. Post-zygotic development of the Paramecium somatic genome requires elimination of thousands of transposon remnants (IESs) and transposable elements that are scattered throughout the germline genome (Garnier et al. 2004). The elimination process is gui...
