Key role of piRNAs in telomeric chromatin maintenance and telomere nuclear positioning in Drosophila germline

Abstract Background Telomeric small RNAs related to PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) have been described in various eukaryotes; however, their role in germline-specific telomere function remains poorly understood. Using a Drosophila model, we performed an in-depth study of the biogenesis of telomeric...
