    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...

    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 ...
