title: Should I stay or should I go? Chromodomain proteins seal the fate of heterochromatic transcripts in fission yeast.
abstract: In this issue of Molecular Cell, Ishida et al. (2012) and Keller et al. (2012) show distinct outcomes for heterochromatic RNAs that bind different chromodomain proteins; Chp1 tethers transcripts to centromeres, whereas Swi6(HP1)-bound transcripts are evicted from chromatin and destroyed.
