Small RNAs play crucial roles in regulation of gene expression in many eukaryotes. Here, we report the cloning and characterization of 18-26 nt RNAs in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. This survey uncovered developmentally regulated microRNA candidates whose biogenesis, at least in one ca...

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...
