Two Piwis with Ago-like functions silence somatic genes at the chromatin level

The paper investigates the role of two Piwi proteins in transgene-induced silencing in Paramecium, showing they have distinct but overlapping functions in generating and processing siRNAs for chromatin-level gene silencing.
