piRNAs are abundant in the early embryo of the crustacean <i>Parhyale hawaiensis</i>

2025-06-02

Abstract excerpt

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a group of short (∼21-31 nucleotide) non-coding RNAs that protect the germline of metazoans against the activity of genomic parasites known as transposable elements (TEs). Although originally discovered in Drosophila where they are germ-line restricted, recent studies in arthropods have shown piRNAs are often expressed also in somatic cells suggesting they might have originally...
