The role of heterochromatin protein 1A(HP1a) in the repression of telomeric retroelements in the drosophila female germline

This study addressed the tissue specific function of pleotropic heterochromatin component HP1a in the Drosophila female germline, particularly to determine whether there was crosstalk with the piRNA pathway. Abolishing HP1a in the female ovarian germline led to complete sterility. A significant de-r...
