<i>Aedes aegypti</i> Piwi4 Structural Features Are Necessary for RNA Binding and Nuclear Localization

The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway provides an RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism known from <i>Drosophila</i> studies to maintain the integrity of the germline genome by silencing transposable elements (TE). <i>Aedes aegypti</i> mosquitoes, which are the key vectors of...
