Potential silencing of gene expression by PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) in somatic tissues in mollusk

2020-07-13

Abstract excerpt

PIWI/piRNA suppress transposon activity in animals, thereby safeguarding the genome from detrimental insertion mutagenesis. Recently, evidence revealed additional piRNA targets and functions in various animals. Although piRNAs are ubiquitously expressed in somatic tissues of the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata , their role is not well-characterized. Here, we report a PIWI/piRNA pathway, including piRNA biogenesis an...
