The piRNA pathway mediates transcriptional silencing of LTR retrotransposons in ovaries and somatic tissues of Aedes mosquitoes

Ezgi Taşköprü, Nynke B van Eijk, Femke A.H. van Hout…·Ronald P. van Rij

This study shows that Piwi6 in Aedes mosquitoes suppresses LTR retrotransposons in both gonadal and somatic tissues by guiding H3K9me3 histone deposition.

Aedes aegypti VLG-1 challenges the assumed antiviral nature of Vago genes.

Élodie Couderc, Anna B. Crist, Josquin Daron…·Sarah Hélène Merkling

This study challenges the assumed antiviral role of Vago genes in Aedes aegypti by showing that VLG-1 has a modest proviral effect during DENV and ZIKV infections.
