Gene duplication of SNAPC1 generates transcription factors for snRNAs and sex-specific piRNAs
Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs essential for transposon silencing and germline integrity across metazoans. In many species, piRNA expression is sexually dimorphic, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying this sex specificity remain poorly understood. In Caenorhabditis elegans, sexually dimorph...
