piRNA pathway and the potential processing site, the nuage, in the Drosophila germline.

Development, growth & differentiation - 1 Jan 2012

Pek Jun Wei, Patil Veena S, Kai Toshie

Abstract excerpt

The accurate transfer of genetic material in germline cells during the formation of gametes is important for the continuity of the species. However, animal germline cells face challenges from transposons, which seek to spread themselves in the genome. This review focuses on studies in Drosophila melanogaster on how the genome protects itself from such a mutational burden via a class of gonad-specific small...
