Rapid evolutionary diversification of the <i>flamenco</i> locus across simulans clade <i>Drosophila</i> species

2022-09-30

Abstract excerpt

Effective suppression of transposable elements (TEs) is paramount to maintain genomic integrity and organismal fitness. In D. melanogaster , flamenco is a master suppressor of TEs, preventing their movement from somatic ovarian support cells to the germline. It is transcribed by Pol II as a long (100s of kb), single-stranded, primary transcript, that is metabolized into Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) that target...
