Alkbh1 and Tzfp repress a non-repeat piRNA cluster in pachytene spermatocytes
Piwi proteins and Piwi-interacting small RNAs (piRNAs) have known functions in transposon silencing in the male germline of fetal and newborn mice. Both are also present in adult testes; however, their function here remains a mystery. Here, we confirm that most piRNAs in meiotic spermatocytes origin...
