Tudor-domain containing proteins act to make the piRNA pathways more robust in Drosophila
{{output}}
PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), a subset of small non-coding RNAs enriched in animal gonads, repress transposons by assembling with PIWI proteins to form potent gene-silencing RNP complexes, piRISCs. Accumulating evidence suggests that piRNAs are produced thro... ...
