Genetic polymorphisms lead to major, locus-specific, variation in piRNA production in mouse
2022-10-22
Abstract excerpt
PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that silence transposons in the animal germline. PiRNAs are produced from long single-stranded non-coding transcripts, from protein-coding transcripts, as well as from transposons. While some sites that produce piRNAs are in deeply conserved syntenic regions, in general, piRNAs and piRNA-producing loci turnover faster than other functional parts of the genome...
