RNAi is a conserved mechanism in which small RNAs induce silencing of complementary
targets. We have previously identified priRNAs, a class of Dicer-independent small RNAs in …

Assembly of fission yeast pericentromeric heterochromatin and generation of small
interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from noncoding centromeric transcripts are mutually dependent …

RNA interference (RNAi) is widespread in eukaryotes and regulates gene expression
transcriptionally or post‐transcriptionally. In fission yeast, RNAi is tightly coupled to template …

In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery is
required to generate small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that mediate heterochromatic gene …

The formation of heterochromatin at the centromeres in fission yeast depends on
transcription of the outer repeats. These transcripts are processed into siRNAs that target …

In fission yeast, siRNA is generated from pericentromeric noncoding RNA by the RNAi
machinery. siRNA synthesis and heterochromatin formation are interdependent, forming a …

RNAi is a conserved mechanism in which small RNAs induce silencing of complementary
targets. How Argonaute-bound small RNAs are targeted for degradation is not well …

The fission yeast centromeric repeats are transcribed and ultimately processed into small
interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that are required for heterochromatin formation. siRNA …

RNA interference (RNAi) is a gene silencing mechanism conserved from fungi to mammals.
Small interfering RNAs are products and mediators of the RNAi pathway and act as …

Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) act through RNA interference (RNAi) pathways to silence
gene expression either at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level. Here, we review …
