Argonaute proteins constitute a highly diverse family of nucleic acid-guided proteins. They were first discovered in eukaryotes as key proteins in RNA interference systems, but homologous prokaryotic Argonaute proteins (pAgos) have also been found in archaea and bacteria. In this Progress article, we focus on
