Abundant expression of somatic transposon-derived piRNAs throughout Tribolium castaneum embryogenesis

BACKGROUND: Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are a class of short (~26–31-nucleotide) non-protein-coding RNAs expressed in the metazoan germline. The piRNA pathway in arthropods is best understood in the ovary of Drosophila melanogaster, where it acts to silence active transposable elements (TEs). Mat...
