Silencing by RNA interference, triggered using double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), is transmitted from parent to progeny in some animals. We examined the mechanism of this inheritance by delivering fluorescent dsRNA (magenta) into the body cavity of the worm Caenorhabditis elegans. The fluorescent dsRNA permeates interstitial spaces between cells, and can be seen within invaginations of the syncytial germ line and between sperm within the spermatheca.
