PIWI genes and piRNAs are ubiquitously expressed in mollusks and show patterns of lineage-specific adaptation

PIWI proteins and PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) suppress transposon activity in animals, thus protecting their genomes from detrimental insertion mutagenesis. Here, we reveal that PIWI genes and piRNAs are ubiquitously expressed in mollusks, similar to the situation in arthropods. We describe linea...
