Transposable element expansion and low-level piRNA silencing in grasshoppers may cause genome gigantism

BACKGROUND: Transposable elements (TEs) have been likened to parasites in the genome that reproduce and move ceaselessly in the host, continuously enlarging the host genome. However, the Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway defends animal genomes against the harmful consequences of TE invasion by im...
