The concomitant cloning of RNA degradation products is a major concern in standard small RNA-sequencing practices. This not only complicates the characterization of bona fide sRNAs but also hampers cross-batch experimental replicability and sometimes even results in library construction failure. Given that all types of plant canonical small RNAs possess the 3' end 2'-O-methylation modification, a new small RNA sequencing (sRNA-seq) method, designated as PBOX-sRNA-seq, has been developed specifically to capture this modification.

Multiple RNA pathways are required to produce functional sperm. Here, we review RNA post-transcriptional regulation during spermatogenesis with particular emphasis on the role of 3' end modifications. From early studies in the 1970s, it became clear that spermiogenesis transcripts could be stored for days only to be translated at advanced stages of spermatid differentiation.

Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are RNA effectors with key roles in maintaining genome integrity and promoting fertility in metazoans. In Caenorhabditis elegans loss of piRNAs leads to a transgenerational sterility phenotype. The plethora of piRNAs and their ability to silence transcripts with imperfect complementarity have raised several (non-exclusive) models for the underlying drivers of sterility.
