RNA interference: endogenous siRNAs derived from transposable elements

Abstract

The Piwi-interacting RNA interference pathway plays an important role in suppressing transposable elements in the Drosophila germline. Now, deep sequencing of short RNAs from somatic tissue and cell culture has identified a novel class of endogenous siRNAs that may have a similar role in the soma.
