FlaHMM: unistrand <i>flamenco</i> -like piRNA cluster prediction in <i>Drosophila</i> species using hidden Markov models
2024-05-15
Abstract excerpt
PIWI-interacting RNAs are a class of small non-coding RNAs that are essential for transposon control in animal gonads. In Drosophila ovarian somatic cells, piRNAs are transcribed from large genomic regions called piRNA clusters, which are enriched for transposon fragments and acts as a memory of past invasions. Despite being widely present across Drosophila species, somatic piRNA clusters are notoriously difficu...
