Role of transposon-derived small RNAs in the interplay between genomes and parasitic DNA in rice.

Role of transposon-derived small RNAs in the interplay between genomes and parasitic DNA in rice.

RNA silencing is a defense system against "genomic parasites" such as transposable elements (TE), which are potentially harmful to host genomes. In plants, transcripts from TEs induce production of double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) and are processed into small RNAs (small interfering RNAs, siR...
