Biogenesis of mature piRNAs in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> is dependent on orchestration between multiple ribonucleases and PRG-1
2021-12-29
Abstract excerpt
Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are an animal-specific class of germline-enriched small non-coding RNAs that shape transcriptome, as well as ensure genomic integrity and fertility by regulating transposons and other selfish genetic elements. In Caenorhabditis elegans mature piRNAs are 21-nucleotides long, begin with a monophosphorylated uridine, and they associate with PRG-1 to form piRISCs that scan the transcrip...
