Abstract

In this issue of Molecular Cell, Lee et al. show that Neuropsora crassa uses several Dicer-dependent and -independent pathways to generate miRNA-like RNAs and small-interfering RNAs. Their studies expand the known small RNA biogenesis pathways and suggest the existence of others that are yet to be discovered.
