DOI: 10.1186/s12864-017-3688-4
Abstract: BackgroundThe absence of Argonaute genes in the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus gattii R265 and other VGII strains indicates that yeasts of this genotype cannot have a functional RNAi pathway, an evolutionarily conserved gene silencing mechanism performed… read more here.
