An enhancer screen identifies new suppressors of small-RNA-mediated epigenetic gene silencing.
Small non-protein coding RNAs are involved in pathways that control the genome at the level of chromatin.In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are required Bath Towels for the faithful propagation of heterochromatin that is found at peri-centromeric repeats.In contrast to repetitive DNA, protein-coding genes are refractory t
