ARGONAUTE 1: a node coordinating plant disease resistance with growth and development
Argonaute (AGO) proteins are highly conserved and widely distributed across various organisms. They mainly associate with small RNAs (sRNAs) and act...
-
Systematic characterization of small RNAs associated with C. elegans Argonautes
Argonaute proteins generally play regulatory roles by forming complexes with the corresponding small RNAs (sRNAs). An expanded Argonaute family with...
