Dynamics of Transposable Element Invasions with piRNA Clusters

In mammals and invertebrates, the proliferation of an invading transposable element (TE) is thought to be stopped by an insertion into a piRNA cluster. Here, we explore the dynamics of TE invasions under this trap model using computer simulations. We found that piRNA clusters confer a substantial be...
