Functional analysis of a conserved tudor domain protein, tejas, in the germline of drosophila melanogaster

Maintaining genome integrity in germline cells is critical for faithful reproduction of genetic material in the next generation. Retroelements are known to populate germline cells in eukaryotes and cause the genomic instability when derepressed (reviewed in Malone and Hannon, 2009). Recently, the Pi...
