This paper claims to have found RNA interference in mammals (https://cl.ly/jq5X). This paper is an attempt to refute the first paper (https://cl.ly/jq5T).
The crux of the debate is that mammals have the interferon system to respond to viruses, so why would they have kept around a system like CRISPR?
