Maternally inherited piRNAs direct transient heterochromatin formation at active transposons during early <i>Drosophila</i> embryogenesis

2021-05-25

Abstract excerpt

The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway controls transposon expression in animal germ cells, thereby ensuring genome stability over generations. In Drosophila , piRNAs are intergenerationally inherited through the maternal lineage, and this has demonstrated importance in the specification of piRNA source loci and in silencing of I- and P- elements in the germ cells of daughters. Maternally inherited Piwi prote...
