What Are the Functional Roles of Piwi Proteins and piRNAs in Insects?

Research on Piwi proteins and piRNAs in insects has focused on three experimental models: oogenesis and spermatogenesis in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>, the antiviral response in <i>Aedes</i> mosquitoes and the molecular analysis of primary and secondary piRNA biogenesis in...
