Long-term experimental evolution reveals purifying selection on piRNA-mediated control of transposable element expression

BACKGROUND: Transposable elements (TEs) are an almost universal constituent of eukaryotic genomes. In animals, Piwi-interacting small RNAs (piRNAs) and repressive chromatin often play crucial roles in preventing TE transcription and thus restricting TE activity. Nevertheless, TE content varies widel...
