From Embryo to Adult: piRNA-Mediated Silencing throughout Germline Development in Drosophila
In metazoan germ cells, transposable element activity is repressed by small noncoding PIWI-associated RNAs (piRNAs). Numerous studies in Drosophila have elucidated the mechanism of this repression in the adult germline. However, when and how transposable element repression is established during germ...
