Roles of piRNAs in transposon and pseudogene regulation of germline mRNAs and lncRNAs
Abstract PIWI proteins, a subfamily of PAZ/PIWI Domain family RNA-binding proteins, are best known for their function in silencing transposons and germline development by partnering with small noncoding RNAs called PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). However, recent studies have revealed multifaceted ro...
