Autonomous Shaping of the piRNA Sequence Repertoire by Competition between Adjacent Ping-Pong Sites
Jie Yu, Natsuko Izumi, Yukihide Tomari, Keisuke Shoji
The paper compares piRNA sequence repertoires in two silkworm cell lines and finds that repertoire changeability negatively correlates with piRNA biogenesis efficiency due to competition between adjacent ping-pong sites.
