Chromatin profiling identifies transcriptional readthrough as a conserved mechanism for piRNA cluster biogenesis in mosquitoes
2022-08-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> The piRNA pathway in mosquitoes differs substantially from other model organisms, with an expanded PIWI gene family and functions in antiviral defense. Here, we defined core piRNA clusters as small RNA source loci that showed ubiquitous expression in both somatic and germline tissues. These core piRNA clusters were enriched for non-retroviral endogenous viral elements (nrEVEs) in antisense orient...
