Welcome to RNAi Gateway
From humble beginnings as an obscure phenomenon in plants, RNA interference (RNAi) has evolved into an area of significant impact in numerous fields. This RNAi Gateway provides a convenient portal into publications relevant to every aspect of RNAi from journals throughout the Nature Publishing Group.

The evolution of small RNAs FREE
Nature
1 October 2008
In bilaterian animals — such as humans, flies and worms — microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate a significant proportion of the transcriptome and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) protect the genome from transposons. By identifying small RNAs from animal phyla that diverged before the emergence of the Bilateria, David Bartel and colleagues now show that "...miRNAs and piRNAs, as classes of small riboregulators, have been present since the dawn of animal life, and indeed might have helped to usher in the era of multicellular animal life."
