Environmentally-induced epigenetic conversion of a piRNA cluster

Environmentally-induced epigenetic conversion of a piRNA cluster

Transposable element (TE) activity is repressed in animal gonads by PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) produced by piRNA clusters. Current models in flies propose that germinal piRNA clusters are functionally defined by the maternal inheritance of piRNAs produced during the previous generation. Taking a...
