Natural variation of piRNA expression affects immunity to transposable elements.

Natural variation of piRNA expression affects immunity to transposable elements.

In the Drosophila germline, transposable elements (TEs) are silenced by PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) that originate from distinct genomic regions termed piRNA clusters and are processed by PIWI-subfamily Argonaute proteins. Here, we explore the variation in the ability to restrain an alien TE in dif...
