The PIWI/piRNA response is relaxed in a rodent that lacks mobilizing transposable elements

2019-03-26

Abstract excerpt

Transposable elements (TEs) are genomic parasites that can propagate by inserting copies of themselves into host genomes. Mammalian genomes are typically dominated by LINE retrotransposons and their associated SINEs, and their mobilization in the germline is a challenge to genome integrity. There are genomic defenses against TE proliferation and the PIWI/piRNA defense is among the most well understood. However, th...
