Human Alu elements promote the establishment and enhancement of piRNA-protein-coding gene targeting relationships
2022-11-29
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background: </bold>PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are the most diverse category of small RNAs in animals. Recent evidence suggests that transposable elements (TEs) incorporated into protein-coding genes (PCGs) can be targeted by piRNAs. Thus, TEs might have a piRNA-mediated influence on organisms. In human PCGs, the extent to which TEs contribute to the presence of piRNA target si...
