Identification of oligo-adenylated small RNAs in the parasite Entamoeba and a potential role for small RNA control
Abstract Background The RNA interference (RNAi) pathway is a gene regulation mechanism that utilizes small RNA (sRNA) and Argonaute (Ago) proteins to silence target genes. Our previous work identified a functional RNAi pathway in the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica, including abundant 27 nt...
