Transcriptomic and functional analyses of the piRNA pathway in the Chagas disease vector Rhodnius prolixus.

Transcriptomic and functional analyses of the piRNA pathway in the Chagas disease vector Rhodnius prolixus.

The piRNA pathway is a surveillance system that guarantees oogenesis and adult fertility in a range of animal species. The pathway is centered on PIWI clade Argonaute proteins and the associated small non-coding RNAs termed piRNAs. In this study, we set to investigate the evolutionary conservation o...
