The Upstream Sequence Transcription Complex Dictates Nucleosome Positioning and Promoter Accessibility at piRNA Genes in the <i>C. elegans</i> Germ Line
2023-05-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> The piRNA pathway is a conserved germline-specific small RNA pathway that ensures genomic integrity and continued fertility. In C. elegans and other nematodes, Type-I piRNA precursor transcripts are expressed from over 10,000 small, independently regulated genes clustered within two discrete domains of 1.5 and 3.5 MB on Chromosome IV. These large clusters likely play a significant role in promo...
