Project description:We sequenced Endogenous short RNAs in Mucor circinelloides fungus grown in standard liquid culture. Short RNAs were profiled in wild type, Dicer-like 1 mutant (dcl1-), Dicer-like 2 mutant (dcl2-) and double Dicer mutant (dcl1-/dcl2-) strains. We identified many loci that produced less short RNAs in the dcl2- strain suggesting that DCL2 is the major protein generating short RNAs in Mucor circinelloides.
