Research on developmental timing, cell fates and RNA
Did you ever wonder why individuals of a species are rather uniform in size? An oscillator-based mechanism may be the answer (at least if you are a worm): Check out Ben’s work – available as a preprint on bioRxiv.
Small RNA pathways protect animals’ germline from harmful genetic elements and maintain genomic integrity. However, controlling their activity is important to avoid silencing of ‘self’ genes. Here, we reveal a proteolytic mechanism that controls endogenous small interfering RNA activity in the C. elegans germline to protect genome integrity and maintain fertility.
