Small Sense and Antisense RNAs Derived from a Telomeric Retroposon Family in Giardia intestinalis

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Sequencing of a library of small RNAs from Giardia intestinalis identified a novel class of small sense and antisense RNAs homologous to the retroposon family GilT/Genie1 that is located at certain telomeres. These small RNAs may contribute to silencing GilT expression via the RNA interference pathway.
