The nuclear PIWI-interacting protein Gtsf1 controls the selective degradation of small RNAs in <i>Paramecium</i>
2023-09-19
Abstract excerpt
Ciliates undergo developmentally programmed genome elimination, in which small RNAs direct the removal of target DNA segments, including transposable elements. At each sexual generation, the development of the macronucleus (MAC) requires massive and reproducible elimination of a large proportion of the germline micronuclear (MIC) genome, leading to a highly streamlined somatic MAC genome. 25-nt long scnRNAs are pr...
