RNAi triggered by specialized machinery silences developmental genes and retrotransposons
In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe RNA interference (RNAi) machinery promotes heterochromatin assembly and silencing of centromeric repeats; here it is shown that RNAi participates in silencing other ...

Defects in RNA quality control factors reveal RNAi-independent nucleation of heterochromatin
Previous analyses have indicated that heterochromatin assembly in Schizosaccharomyces pombe involves an RNAi-mediated mechanism. Analyses aimed at elucidating the targeting of heterochromatin at centromeres now s...
