Recurrent expansion and rapid evolution of the Drosophilid RNAi pathway in testis

2025-11-29

Abstract excerpt

Multiple classes of selfish genetic elements, including transposable elements, meiotic drivers, and viruses, are suppressed by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that guide RNA interference (RNAi). These are interlocked within continually evolving genetic conflicts that are characterized by extremely rapid dynamics of change in both sequence and copy number. Indeed, it was shown that across Drosophila , the core RNA...
