New rules for regulation of genes by piRNAs in C. elegans
Year: 2018
Type: editorial
Abstract: Transposable element (TE) insertions create new gene regulatory elements or new gene products, thus representing a major driver for the evolutionary adaptation and genome plasticity of organisms (1). However, integration of TEs can also provoke genomic instability by disrupting protein-coding genes and alter transcriptional regulatory networks.
