Transposable elements are major components of eukaryotic genomes and have been proposed as important drivers of gene network evolution, as they can move or “transpose” in their host genome, creating gene duplications, gene inactivations or altogether altering gene function. Nevertheless, uncontrolled high-rate transposition leads to DNA damage and genomic instabilities, and therefore needs to be kept at a low level. In the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster, transposition is counteracted by multiple mechanisms, amongst which the generation of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). siRNAs and piRNAs belong to the category of small RNAs, and these are involved in negative regulation of complementary target RNAs abun...
