Planting the seeds for a forest of RNAi pathways

PLoS Biol. 2023 Aug 16;21(8):e3002279. doi: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3002279. eCollection 2023 Aug.

Abstract

Cells from most eukaryotic species make several different types of small interfering RNAs. Pioneering work in plants, published in PLOS Biology almost 20 years ago, established a framework to understand how multiple RNA interference pathways can regulate the genome in parallel.
