An epigenetic activation role of piwi and a piwi-associated piRNA in Drosophila melanogaster
Article Abstract:
The identification and characterization of 12,903 piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) in Drosophila is reported. Piwi promotes the euchromatic character of 3R-TAS heterochromatin and its transcriptional activity essential for germline stem-cell maintenance.
