Embryonic piRNAs target horizontally transferred vertebrate transposons in assassin bugs

IntroductionPiwi proteins and the associated Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) coordinate a surveillance system that protects the animal genome from DNA damage induced by transposable element (TE) mobilization. While the pathway has been described in detail in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, muc...
