Rapid evolution and comparative analysis of piRNA clusters in D.simulans

Prakash Narayanan, Satyam P. Srivastav, Sarah A. Signor

The paper analyzes piRNA cluster evolution in D. simulans using genome and piRNA data, finding rapid formation and loss of clusters and distinct transposon involvement compared to D. melanogaster.

Spoink, a LTR retrotransposon, invaded D. melanogaster populations in the 1990s

Riccardo Pianezza, Almorò Scarpa, Prakash Narayanan…·Robert Kofler

The paper identifies Spoink, a LTR retrotransposon that invaded D. melanogaster populations between 1983 and 1993, likely via horizontal transfer from D. willistoni, and shows it is often silenced by the piRNA pathway.
