Respiratory syncytial virus infection changes the piwi-interacting RNA content of airway epithelial cells
8 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) of about 26-32 nucleotides in length and represent the largest class of sncRNA molecules expressed in animal cells. piRNAs have been shown to play a crucial role to safeguard the genome, maintaining genome complexity and integrity, as they suppress the insertional mutations caused by transposable elements. However, there is growing evidence for...
