Hierarchical length and sequence preferences establish a single major piRNA 3’-end
2021-12-09
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) guard germline genomes against the deleterious action of retroviruses and other mobile genetic elements. How piRNAs faithfully discriminate between self and non-self to restrict all mobile elements while sparing essential genes remains a key outstanding question in genome biology. PiRNAs use extensive base-pairing to recognize their targets and variable 3’ends coul...
