Dual-layer transposon repression in heads of Drosophila <i>melanogaster</i>

2018-02-20

Abstract excerpt

piRNA-mediated repression of transposable elements (TE) in the germline limits the accumulation of heritable mutations caused by their transposition in the genome. It is not clear whether the piRNA pathway plays a functional role in adult, non-gonadal tissues in Drosophila melanogaster . To address this question, we first analyzed the small RNA content of adult Drosophila melanogaster heads. We found that varyin...
