Ago2 protects Drosophila siRNAs and microRNAs from target-directed degradation, even in the absence of 2′- O -methylation

<jats:p>Target-directed microRNA (miRNA) degradation (TDMD), which is mediated by the protein ZSWIM8, plays a widespread role in shaping miRNA abundances across bilateria. Some endogenous small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) of <jats:italic>Drosophila</jats:italic> cells have target sit...
