Essential Role for endogenous siRNAs during meiosis in mouse oocytes.

Essential Role for endogenous siRNAs during meiosis in mouse oocytes.

The RNase III enzyme DICER generates both microRNAs (miRNAs) and endogenous short interfering RNAs (endo-siRNAs). Both small RNA species silence gene expression post-transcriptionally in association with the ARGONAUTE (AGO) family of proteins. In mammals, there are four AGO proteins (AGO1-4), of whi...
