We report on the function of the D. dictyostelium argonaute proteins AgnA and AgnB in the silencing mechanism of the retrotransposon DIRS-1. By deep sequencing analysis we found that AgnA is involved in the accumulation of DIRS-1 siRNAs since in respective knockout strains siRNAs are strongly reduce...
