The composition of piRNA clusters in Drosophila melanogaster deviates from expectations under the trap model

BACKGROUND: It is widely assumed that the invasion of a transposable element (TE) in mammals and invertebrates is stopped when a copy of the TE jumps into a piRNA cluster (i.e., the trap model). However, recent works, which for example showed that deletion of three major piRNA clusters has no effect...
