Drosophila Piwi distinguishes transposons from mRNAs by piRNA complementarity and abundance
Summary: Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are the main repressors of transposable elements (TEs) in animal germlines. In Drosophila, Piwi-piRNA complexes associate with nascent TE transcripts to drive heterochromatin formation and TE repression. However, previous studies have shown that Piwi also asso...
