The impact of <i>P</i> -Element-induced hybrid dysgenesis on the male germline in <i>Drosophila simulans</i>

2026-07-01

Abstract excerpt

The P-element, a DNA transposon, has independently invaded two Drosophila species, accompanied by rapid evolution of suppression. In the germline, suppression is mediated primarily by maternally expressed piRNAs, a class of regulatory small RNAs associated with PIWI proteins. The offspring of females that lack P-element-specific piRNAs and males that contain P-elements suffer a syndrome of deleterious phenotypes,...
