Plants and invertebrates protect themselves from viruses through RNA interference (RNAi), yet it remains unknown whether this defense mechanism exists in mammals. Antiviral RNAi involves the processing of viral long double-stranded (ds) RNA molecules into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) by the ribon...

A loss-of-function mutant in the SKI2 helicase in Arabidopsis was shown to accumulate 5'-cleavage fragments of several miRNA targets. Small RNAs in ski2 single and ski2/rdr6 double mutants (two biological replicates of each genotype) were next analysed by NGS. The data show that several miRNA target...

In plants, maintenance-methylation mediated by METHYLTRANSFERASE-1 (MET1), siRNA-directed de-novo methylation, and chromatin remodeling by DECREASE IN DNA METHYLATION -1 (DDM1) promote transcriptional gene-silencing of transposable elements (TEs). This process is mostly investigated at steady states...
