Genetic control of a sex-specific piRNA program

2022-10-26

Abstract excerpt

Sexually dimorphic traits in morphologies are widely studied, but those in essential molecular pathways remain largely unexplored. Previous work showed substantial sex differences in Drosophila gonadal piRNAs, which guide PIWI proteins to silence selfish genetic elements thereby safeguarding fertility. However, the genetic control mechanisms of piRNA sexual dimorphism remain unknown. Here, we showed that most sex...
