Retrovirus insertions in host transcripts trigger de novo piRNA immunity:
Kirsten-André Senti, @juliusbrennecke.bsky.social et al investigate the 20th-century invasion of D. melanogaster by iERV Tirant to reveal piRNA-pathway evolution in response to new threats

I'm super happy to finally see the paper published ! Check out the full story here: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
How host organisms adapt their defense systems to newly invading transposable elements remains poorly understood. Here, we show how Drosophila melanogaster acquired PIWI-interacting RNA (piRNA)-mediat...
