title: Quit stalling or you'll be silenced.
abstract: The use of small RNAs to program gene regulation and genome defense necessitates ever-changing choices about the sequences used for small-RNA biogenesis. Dumesic et al. now reveal stalled spliceosomes as a trigger for small-RNA biogenesis in the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans.
