Large Drosophila germline piRNA clusters are evolutionarily labile and dispensable for transposon regulation

Large Drosophila germline piRNA clusters are evolutionarily labile and dispensable for transposon regulation

PIWI proteins and their guiding Piwi-interacting small RNAs (piRNAs) are crucial for fertility and transposon defense in the animal germline. In most species, the majority of piRNAs are produced from distinct large genomic loci, called piRNA clusters. It is assumed that germline-expressed piRNA clus...
