Association of zygotic piRNAs derived from paternal P elements with hybrid dysgenesis in Drosophila melanogaster

Abstract Background P-element transposition in the genome causes P-M hybrid dysgenesis in Drosophila melanogaster. Maternally deposited piRNAs suppress P-element transposition in the progeny, linking them to P-M phenotypes; however, the role of zygotic piRNAs derived from paternal P elements is poor...
