Hierarchical length and sequence preferences establish a single major piRNA 3′-end

Summary: PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) guard germline genomes against the deleterious action of mobile genetic elements. PiRNAs use extensive base-pairing to recognize their targets and variable 3′ends could change the specificity and efficacy of piRNA silencing. Here, we identify conserved rules t...
