Everything about DCL5

Plant gene encoding a Dicer-like protein

DICER-LIKE 5 (DCL5) is a plant Dicer-like endoribonuclease that functions in the biogenesis of 24-nucleotide reproductive phased small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs). The gene is specific to monocots and plays a central role during early anther development, where these small RNAs accumulate at high levels. Wikipedia →
