摘要
In eukaryotes, RNA silencing suppresses gene expression through sequence-specific interactions involving endogenous small RNAs. Although our understanding of the diversity, biogenesis and function of these regulatory RNAs is growing rapidly, their evolutionary origin is not well understood. Now, a new study of plants uncovers an important role for inverted duplication of small RNA target genes in the origin of new regulatory RNAs.
