Epigenetic Requirements for Triggering Heterochromatinization and Piwi-Interacting RNA Production from Transgenes in the <i>Drosophila</i> Germline

Epigenetic Requirements for Triggering Heterochromatinization and Piwi-Interacting RNA Production from Transgenes in the <i>Drosophila</i> Germline

Transgenes containing a fragment of the <i>I</i> retrotransposon represent a powerful model of piRNA cluster <i>de novo</i> formation in the <i>Drosophila</i> germline. We revealed that the same transgenes located at different genomic loci form piRNA clusters with...
