cDNA Cloning of Feline PIWIL1 and Evaluation of Expression in the Testis of the Domestic Cat

The PIWI clade of Argonaute proteins is essential for spermatogenesis in all species examined to date. This protein family binds specific classes of small non-coding RNAs known as PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) which together form piRNA-induced silencing complexes (piRISCs) that are recruited to spe...
