Increasing cell density globally enhances the biogenesis of Piwi-interacting RNAs in Bombyx mori germ cells

Abstract Piwi proteins and their bound Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) are predominantly expressed in the germline and play crucial roles in germline development by silencing transposons and other targets. Bombyx mori BmN4 cells are culturable germ cells that equip the piRNA pathway. Because of the s...
