<i>yama</i> , a mutant allele of <i>Mov10l1</i> , disrupts retrotransposon silencing and piRNA biogenesis
2020-11-26
Abstract excerpt
Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) play critical roles in protecting germline genome integrity and promoting normal spermiogenic differentiation. In mammals, there are two populations of piRNAs: pre-pachytene and pachytene piRNAs. Transposon-rich pre-pachytene piRNAs are expressed in fetal and perinatal germ cells and are required for retrotransposon silencing, whereas transposon-poor pachytene piRNAs are expressed in...
