Comparative transcriptomics reveals an extracellular worm argonaute as an ancestral regulator of LTR retrotransposons
2025-09-24
Abstract excerpt
Safeguarding the genome from non-self elements is essential for reproduction, development, and ageing. One of the major threats to genome integrity is Transposable Elements (TEs), which can be post-transcriptionally silenced through small RNAs (sRNAs) and argonaute proteins. Recent work suggests TE-derived sRNAs may also act as virulence factors in host–pathogen interactions. During infection, the intestinal paras...
