Trapping a somatic endogenous retrovirus into a germline piRNA cluster immunizes the germline against further invasion

2019-01-02

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> For species survival, the germline must faithfully transmit the genetic information to the progeny. Transposable elements (TEs), which are major components of eukaryotic genomes, constitute a significant threat to genome stability due to their mobility. In the metazoan germline, their mobilization is limited by a class of small RNAs that are called PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and are produc...
