Somatic expression of piRNA and associated machinery in the mouse identifies short, tissue-specific piRNA

Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that associate with PIWI proteins for transposon silencing via DNA methylation and are highly expressed and extensively studied in the germline. Mature germline piRNAs typically consist of 24–32 nucleotides, with a strong preference for a 5ʹ u...
