    Germ granule dysfunction is a hallmark and mirror of Piwi mutant sterility

    In several species, Piwi/piRNA genome silencing defects cause immediate sterility that correlates with transposon expression and transposon-induced genomic instability. In C. elegans, mutations in the Piwi-relate...
