Conserved but mechanistically diverse piRNA defence against endogenous retroviruses in insects

Abstract Defence systems against genetic mobile elements are highly adaptable, yet their long-term evolutionary stability remains unclear. To address this, we examined the conservation of Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA)-mediated defence against envelope-carrying gypsy long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotr...
