In animals, PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) of 21–35 nucleotides in length silence
transposable elements, regulate gene expression and fight viral infection. piRNAs guide …

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and their associated PIWI clade Argonaute proteins
constitute the core of the piRNA pathway. In gonadal cells, this conserved pathway is crucial …

The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway is a conserved defense mechanism that protects
the genetic information of animal germ cells from the deleterious effects of molecular …

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of small RNAs that are 24–31 nucleotides in
length. They associate with PIWI proteins, which constitute a germline-specific subclade of …

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) protect the animal germ line by silencing transposons.
Primary piRNAs, generated from transcripts of genomic transposon “junkyards”(piRNA …

Triacylglycerol (TAG) is the most important caloric source with respect to energy
homeostasis in animals. In addition to its evolutionarily conserved importance as an energy …

Transposable elements (TEs) have the capacity to replicate and insert into new genomic
locations. This contributs significantly to evolution of genomes, but can also result in DNA …

The Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway is a small RNA–based innate immune system
that defends germ cell genomes against transposons. In Drosophila ovaries, the nuclear …

The PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway is a conserved defense system that protects the
genome integrity of the animal germline from deleterious transposable elements. Targets of …

Piwi proteins and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are essential for gametogenesis,
embryogenesis, and stem cell maintenance in animals. Piwi proteins act on transposon …
