snoRNAs and Small Derived RNAs (sdRNAs)(Taft et al., 2009) • More than 60% of SnoRNAs give rise to sdRNAs • sdRNAs are highly conserved • C/D box sdRNAs are predominantly 17-19nt and 30nt, while H/ACA box sdRNAs are 22nt • sdRNAs are only midly down-regulated in dicer1- and dgcr8-deficient ES cells. = Is 53BP1 involved in the generation of sdRNAs ??
