Embryonic piRNAs target horizontally transferred vertebrate transposons in assassin bugs [PDF]

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
IntroductionPiwi proteins and the associated Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) coordinate a surveillance system that protects the animal genome from DNA damage induced by transposable element (TE) mobilization. While the pathway has been described in detail
