Recurrent innovation of protein-protein interactions in the <i>Drosophila</i> piRNA pathway

2024-10-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Despite being essential for fertility, genome defence pathway genes often evolve rapidly. However, little is known about the molecular basis of this adaptation. Here, we characterize the evolution of a protein interaction network within the PIWI-interacting small RNA (piRNA) genome defence pathway in Drosophila at unprecedented scale and evolutionary resolution. We uncover pervasive rapid evolu...
