The distinction in RNAi‐mediated gene silencing between metazoans —which mostly use a post‐transcriptional RNAi mechanism— and fission yeast —which use a transcriptional RNAi mechanism— seems to be less clear‐cut than previously thought. Robin Allshire's group has recently published in EMBO reports that S. pombe can repress gene expression in trans , which is reminiscent of mammalian post‐transcriptional gene silencing.
