Multiple functions of shutdown in Drosophila germline development

In animals, maintenance of the germline genomic integrity is crucial for accurate transmission of genetic information to the next generation. A unique small RNA pathway known as the PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA) pathway is present in the animal germline to prevent transposable elements from subvertin...
