摘要
A recent work identifies a distinct class of siRNAs derived from transgenes and endogenous retroelements; in plants (Hamilton et al., 2002). This class has slower electrophoretic mobility than previously characterized siRNAs and may play an important role in transgene-induced systemic silencing and in methylation of endogenous retroelement DNA.
