Gtsf1 is essential for proper female sex determination and transposon silencing in the silkworm, Bombyx mori.

Gtsf1 is essential for proper female sex determination and transposon silencing in the silkworm, Bombyx mori.

Sex determination pathways are astoundingly diverse in insects. For instance, the silk moth Bombyx mori uniquely use various components of the piRNA pathway to produce the Fem signal for specification of the female fate. In this study, we identified BmGTSF1 as a novel piRNA factor which participates...
