Epigenetic inheritance and evolution in nematodes

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are 21-30 nt small RNAs that play key roles in germline development and transposable element silencing in metazoans. The piRNA pathway shows extreme diversity and high rates of evolution across metazoans, with few similarities between the nematode and insect systems where characterization of the pathway is most advanced. In the first part of this thesis, I focus on the evolution of p...
