Quantitatively increased somatic transposition of transposable elements in Drosophila strains compromised for RNAi.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2013

Xie Weiwu, Donohue Ryan C, Birchler James A

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila melanogaster, small RNAs homologous to transposable elements (TEs) are of two types: piRNA (piwi-interacting RNA) with size 23-29nt and siRNA (small interfering RNA) with size 19-22nt. The siRNA pathway is suggested to silence TE activities in somatic tissues based on TE expression profiles, but direct evidence of transposition is lacking. Here we developed an efficient FISH (fluorescence in Situ...
