The SET-2 /SET1 histone H3K4 methyltransferase and RNAi pathway components arerequired to maintain fertility across generations in C. elegans . SET-2 preservesthe germline transcriptional program transgenerationally, and RNAi pathways relyon small RNAs to establish and maintain transgenerational gene silencing. Weinvestigated whether the functionality of RNAi-induced transgenerationalsilencing and the composition of pools of endogenous small RNA are affected bythe absence of SET-2 . Our results suggest that defects in RNAi pathways are notresponsible for the transcriptional misregulation observed in the absence ofSET-2 .
