An Expanding World of Small RNAs

In ciliated protozoans, small RNAs (sRNAs) are integral to guiding large-scale genomic rearrangements after mating. Sandoval et al. (2014) report in this issue of Developmental Cell the discovery of a class of Paramecium sRNAs, produced by a unique Dicer-like enzyme, that likely provides late stage...

Description
Summary:In ciliated protozoans, small RNAs (sRNAs) are integral to guiding large-scale genomic rearrangements after mating. Sandoval et al. (2014) report in this issue of Developmental Cell the discovery of a class of Paramecium sRNAs, produced by a unique Dicer-like enzyme, that likely provides late stage quality control in this process.
