Useful links:

Epigenetics, Imprinting and Barr body formation all involve some form of nucleosome modification mediated by RNAi

Here is an excellent review.

I found this paper particularly fascinating

Intersection of the RNA Interference and X-Inactivation Pathways

http://www.sciencemag.org/content/320/5881/1336

Here is another

siRNA induced transcriptional gene silencing in mammalian cells.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15684610

I draw your attention to the importance of RNAi as a “gene silencer” for so-called individual oncogenes such as myc.

Promoter-specific transcriptional interference and c-myc gene silencing by siRNAs in human cells.
