The evolutionary arms race between transposable elements and piRNAs in Drosophila melanogaster

BACKGROUND: The piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that specifically repress transposable elements (TEs) in the germline of Drosophila. Despite our expanding understanding of TE:piRNA interaction, whether there is an evolutionary arms race between TEs and piRNAs was unclear. RE...
