Endogenous 24nt short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) derived mostly from intergenic and repetitive genomic regions constitute a major class of endogenous small RNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana. Accumulation o
The repair of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) has recently been shown to depend not only on protein function but also on RNA. In particular, the processing of a long damage-induced RNA into small dama
