Transposon silencing in the <i>Drosophila</i> female germline ensures genome stability in progeny embryos

2018-07-05

Abstract excerpt

The piRNA pathway functions in transposon control in the germ line of metazoans. The conserved RNA helicase Vasa is an essential piRNA pathway component, but has additional important developmental functions. Here we address the importance of Vasa-dependent transposon control in the Drosophila female germline and early embryos. We find that transient loss of vasa expression during early oogenesis leads to transpo...
