The ERI-6/7 helicase acts at the first stage of an siRNA amplification pathway that targets recent gene duplications.

The ERI-6/7 helicase acts at the first stage of an siRNA amplification pathway that targets recent gene duplications.

Endogenous small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are a class of naturally occuring regulatory RNAs found in fungi, plants, and animals. Some endogenous siRNAs are required to silence transposons or function in chromosome segregation; however, the specific roles of most endogenous siRNAs are unclear. The h...
