Aging in the Drosophila ovary: contrasting changes in the expression of the piRNA machinery and mitochondria but no global release of transposable elements
Published in BMC genomics (23-04-2019)“…Evolutionary theory indicates that the dynamics of aging in the soma and reproductive tissues may be distinct. This difference arises from the fact that only…”

piRNAs Are Associated with Diverse Transgenerational Effects on Gene and Transposon Expression in a Hybrid Dysgenic Syndrome of D. virilis
Published in PLoS genetics (01-08-2015)“…Sexual reproduction allows transposable elements (TEs) to proliferate, leading to rapid divergence between populations and species. A significant outcome of…”

What Drives Positive Selection in the Drosophila piRNA Machinery? The Genomic Autoimmunity Hypothesis
Published in The Yale journal of biology & medicine (01-12-2016)“…In animals, PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) play a crucial role in genome defense. Moreover, because piRNAs can be maternally transmitted, they contribute to…”
