Research output: Contribution to journal › Editorial › peer-review

Abstract / Description of output

The genome of Drosophila is protected from DNA damage during oogenesis by a mechanism involving short RNAs. Surprisingly transcription of these RNAs requires that their DNA is associated with a histone modification usually associated with gene silencing.
