Paramutation-like Epigenetic Conversion by piRNA at the Telomere of <i>Drosophila virilis</i>

Paramutation-like Epigenetic Conversion by piRNA at the Telomere of <i>Drosophila virilis</i>

First discovered in maize, paramutation is a phenomenon in which one allele can trigger an epigenetic conversion of an alternate allele. This conversion causes a genetically heterozygous individual to transmit alleles that are functionally the same, in apparent violation of Mendelian segregation. St...
