Evolutionary history of the vertebrate Piwi gene family

Evolutionary history of the vertebrate Piwi gene family

PIWIs are regulatory proteins that belong to the Argonaute family. Piwis are primarily expressed in gonads and protect the germline against the mobilization and propagation of transposable elements (TEs) through transcriptional gene silencing. Vertebrate genomes encode up to four Piwi genes: Piwil1,...
