LONG-TERM EXPERIMENTAL EVOLUTION REVEALS PURIFYING SELECTION ON PIRNA-MEDIATED CONTROL OF TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENT EXPRESSION

Long-term experimental evolution reveals purifying selection on piRNA-mediated control of transposable element expression

Abstract Background Transposable elements (TEs) are an trip in the woods sierra nevada almost universal constituent of eukaryotic genomes.In animals, Piwi-interacting small RNAs (piRNAs) and repressive chromatin often play crucial roles in preventing TE transcription and thus restricting TE activity.Nevertheless, TE content varies widely across euk
