Abstract

RNA interference (RNAi) pathways can result in sequence-specific transcriptional gene silencing on the level of chromatin. In this issue of Cell, Grimaud et al. (2006) reveal that the RNAi machinery is required for long-distance physical interactions between chromosomes mediated by the Polycomb repressive complex. These results suggest that the RNAi machinery may regulate higher-order nuclear organization.
