TREX Function in piRNA Biogenesis and Transposon Silencing
The Piwi interacting RNA pathway (piRNA) transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally silences transposons in the germline to maintain host genome integrity and faithful transmission of the genetic materials. In Drosophilaovaries, maternally loaded piRNAs kick-start piRNA biogenesis and convert prec...
