“Dot COM”, a Nuclear Transit Center for the Primary piRNA Pathway in Drosophila

The piRNA pathway protects genomes by silencing mobile elements. Despite advances in understanding the processing events that generate piRNAs for silencing, little is known about how primary transcripts are transported from their genomic clusters to their processing centers. Using a model of the Dro...
