pre-piRNA trimming and 2′-O-methylation protect piRNAs from 3′ tailing and degradation in C. elegans

The Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway suppresses transposable elements and promotes fertility in diverse organisms. Maturation of piRNAs involves pre-piRNA trimming followed by 2′-O-methylation at their 3′ termini. Here, we report that the 3′ termini of Caenorhabditis elegans piRNAs are subject t...
