obsolete conversion of ds siRNA to ss siRNA involved in gene silencing by small RNA

OBSOLETE. Any conversion of ds siRNA to ss siRNA that is involved in gene silencing by small RNA.

obsolete conversion of ds siRNA to ss siRNA

OBSOLETE. The process in which double-stranded small interfering RNA (ds siRNA) molecules are converted to single-stranded small interfering RNA (ss siRNA).

double stranded viral RNA replication

A viral genome replication process where the template genome is double stranded RNA (dsRNA). Genomic dsRNA is first transcribed into single-stranded (ss) mRNA, which is then replicated to ds-genomic RNA.

ARC complex

A ribonucleoprotein complex that contains members of the Argonaute family of proteins, additional protein subunits, and duplex siRNA; required for heterochromatin assembly and siRNA generation. Possibly involved in the conversion of ds siRNA to ss siRNA.
