Limited impact of the siRNA pathway on transposable element expression in <i>Aedes aegypti</i>
2024-11-28
Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences that can change their position within a genome. In the germline of arthropods, post-transcriptional regulation of TE expression is mainly mediated by the Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway. piRNAs are small RNAs of 24-30 nucleotides (nt) in length produced from genomic precursor transcripts as well as through a ‘ping-pong’ amplification cycle. In somatic tissues, cer...
