Gender-specific hierarchy in nuage localization of PIWI-interacting RNA factors in Drosophila

Gender-specific hierarchy in nuage localization of PIWI-interacting RNA factors in Drosophila

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are germline-specific small non-coding RNAs that form piRNA-induced silencing complexes (piRISCs) by associating with PIWI proteins, a subclade of the Argonaute proteins predominantly expressed in the germline. piRISCs protect the integrity of the germline genome from...
