Conserved piRNA Expression from a Distinct Set of piRNA Cluster Loci in Eutherian Mammals
The Piwi pathway is deeply conserved amongst animals because one of its essential functions is to repress transposons. However, many Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) do not base-pair to transposons and remain mysterious in their targeting function. The sheer number of piRNA cluster (piC) loci in anima...
