piRNA pathway evolution beyond gonad context: Perspectives from apicomplexa and trypanosomatids

piRNAs function as genome defense mechanisms against transposable elements insertions within germ line cells. Recent studies have unraveled that piRNA pathways are not limited to germ cells as initially reckoned, but are instead also found in non-gonadal somatic contexts. Moreover, these pathways ha...
