    SNPC-1.3 is a sex-specific transcription factor that drives male piRNA expression in C. elegans

    Charlotte P Choi, Rebecca J Tay ... John K Kim
    snpc-1.3 specifies male piRNA transcription and is regulated by the sex determination pathway.

    HDAC1 SUMOylation promotes Argonaute-directed transcriptional silencing in C. elegans

    Heesun Kim, Yue-He Ding ... Craig C Mello
    HDAC SUMOylation promotes the association of other chromatin remodeling factors with the nuclear Argonaute WAGO-9, which is required for de novo heterochromatin silencing.

    Maternal H3K36 and H3K27 HMTs protect germline development via regulation of the transcription factor LIN-15B

    Chad Steven Cockrum, Susan Strome
    The H3K36 and H3K27 histone methyltransferases MES-4 and PRC2 protect survival of the nascent germline in Caenorhabditis elegans by repressing expression of X-linked genes, including the key transcription factor LIN-15B.

    Developmental programming modulates olfactory behavior in C. elegans via endogenous RNAi pathways

    Jennie R Sims, Maria C Ow ... Sarah E Hall
    The OSM-9 TRPV channel is differentially regulated due to developmental programming via modulation by TGF-β signaling, endogenous RNAi and chromatin remodeling pathways.

    H3K9me3 is required for inheritance of small RNAs that target a unique subset of newly evolved genes

    Itamar Lev, Hila Gingold, Oded Rechavi
    In Caenorhabditis elegans histone methylation (H3K9me3) controls the synthesis of heritable small RNAs in a gene-specific manner and thus enables 'flagging' of newly-acquired genes.

    Heritable epigenetic changes are constrained by the dynamics of regulatory architectures

    Antony M Jose
    A foundation for analyzing epigenetic changes within the context of regulatory architectures that enable heredity.

    Intergenerational transport of double-stranded RNA in C. elegans can limit heritable epigenetic changes

    Nathan M Shugarts Devanapally, Aishwarya Sathya ... Antony M Jose
    Transport of double-stranded RNA from parental circulation to progeny using the transmembrane protein SID-1 can occur through multiple routes during C. elegans development and buffer heritable changes in gene expression.

    A deletion polymorphism in the Caenorhabditis elegans RIG-I homolog disables viral RNA dicing and antiviral immunity

    Alyson Ashe, Tony Bélicard ... Eric A Miska
    Evidence that C. elegans and mammals use homologous versions of the same protein (RIG-1) to activate antiviral defense mechanisms suggests that RIG-1 may have a conserved role in coupling virus recognition to virus destruction.

    Target-specific requirements for RNA interference can arise through restricted RNA amplification despite the lack of specialized pathways

    Daphne R Knudsen-Palmer, Pravrutha Raman ... Antony M Jose
    Experimental results and computational modeling reveal many factors that influence if a gene can be efficiently silenced using RNA interference.
