Rapid disassembly and Piwi-independent reassembly of <i>Drosophila</i> piRNA cluster heterochromatin following acute heat shock
2023-07-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Environmental stress activates transposons and is proposed to generate genetic diversity that facilitates adaptive evolution. piRNAs guide germline transposon silencing, but the impact of stress on the piRNA pathway is not well understood. In Drosophila, the Rhino-Deadlock-Cuff complex (RDC) drives transcription of clusters composed of nested transposon fragments, generating precursors that are...
