A genetic toolkit for studying transposon control in the <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> ovary

2021-07-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Argonaute proteins of the PIWI class complexed with PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) protect the animal germline genome by silencing transposable elements. One of the leading experimental systems for studying piRNA biology is the Drosophila melanogaster ovary. In addition to classical mutagenesis, transgenic RNA interference (RNAi), which enables tissue-specific silencing of gene expression, play...
