Here, we analyzed two small RNA libraries derived from ovarian tissue mutant for either the Drosophila SETDB1 gene, or the Bam gene. Here we show that deposition of histone 3 lysine 9 by the methyltransferase dSETDB1 (egg) is required for piRNA cluster transcription. In the absence of dSETDB1, clust...
