What's a GeneRIF?

These results uncouple the role of the RDE-1 RNase H activity in small RNA maturation from its role in target-mRNA silencing in vivo.
Title: RDE-1 slicer activity is required only for passenger-strand cleavage during RNAi in Caenorhabditis elegans.
The majority of Dicer-regulated genes are not dependent on RDE-4 or RDE-1, including the X-linked genes.
Title: Genes misregulated in C. elegans deficient in Dicer, RDE-4, or RDE-1 are enriched for innate immunity genes.
