A transposon expression burst accompanies the activation of Y-chromosome fertility genes during Drosophila spermatogenesis

In this study, Lawlor et al. show that transposons on the Drosophila Y chromosome have evolved to exploit a specific stage of spermatogenesis when the Y chromosome is decondensed and the piRNA pathway is downregulated.
