Conserved but mechanistically diverse piRNA defence against <i>gypsy</i> LTR retrotransposons in insect ovaries

2025-09-07

Abstract excerpt

Organisms have evolved highly adaptable defence systems to silence mobile genetic elements such as transposons. While individual transposons may emerge and vanish over time, the long-term evolutionary stability of the pathways that suppress them remains poorly understood. In the ovarian somatic cells of Drosophila , envelope -carrying gypsy long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons are silenced by the Piwi-in...
