ABSTRACT PIWI proteins and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) have established and
conserved roles in repressing transposable elements (TEs) in the germline of animals …

Cells spatially organize their molecular components to carry out fundamental biological
processes and guide proper development. The spatial organization of RNA within the cell …

Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) silence transposons to safeguard genome integrity in
animals. However, the functions of the many piRNAs that do not map to transposons remain …

In animals, PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) guide PIWI proteins to silence transposons and
regulate gene expression. The mechanisms for making piRNAs have been proposed to …

PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) that
perform crucial biological functions in metazoans and defend against transposable elements …

Abstract pirScan is a web-based tool for identifying C. elegans piRNA-targeting sites within a
given mRNA or spliced DNA sequence. The purpose of our tool is to allow C. elegans …

Piwi in a complex with Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) triggers transcriptional silencing of
transposable elements (TEs) in Drosophila ovaries, thus ensuring genome stability. To do …

Objective: To investigate the relationship between spermatozoa PIWI-interacting RNAs
(piRNAs) levels and semen parameters and to evaluate the role of expression of piRNAs on …

PIWI‐interacting RNAs (piRNAs) play an important role in the defense against transposons
in the germline and stem cells of animals. To what extent other transcripts are also regulated …

Interspecific hybridization between two closely related species sometimes resulted in a new
species with allotetraploid genomes. Many clawed frog species belonging to the Xenopus …
