Stage-dependent piRNAs in chicken implicated roles in modulating male germ cell development
Abstract Background The PIWI/piRNA pathway is a conserved machinery important for germ cell development and fertility. This piRNA-guided molecular machinery is best known for repressing derepressed transposable elements (TE) during epigenomic reprogramming. The extent to which piRNAs are involved in...
