Functional Proteomics Identifies a PICS Complex Required for piRNA Maturation and Chromosome Segregation
Summary: piRNAs play significant roles in suppressing transposons and nonself nucleic acids, maintaining genome integrity, and defending against viral infections. In C. elegans, piRNA precursors are transcribed in the nucleus and are subjected to a number of processing and maturation steps. The biog...
