The maintenance of genome integrity is an essential trait to the successful transmission of genetic information. In animal germ cells, piRNAs guide PIWI proteins to silence transposable elements (TEs) in order to maintain genome integrity. In insects, most of TE silencing in the germline is achieved...

RNAi-related silencing mechanisms concern as diverse biological processes as gene regulation, mostly via the miRNA pathway, and defense against molecular parasites, mainly controlled by the siRNA and the piRNA pathways. In Drosophila somatic ovarian cells, transposable elements (TEs) are repressed b...
