More effective transposon regulation in fertile, long‐lived termite queens than in sterile workersNARA Subscribed
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic sequences, which can cause the accumulation of genomic damage in the lifetime of an organism. The regulation of TEs, for instance via the piRNA‐pathway, is an important mechanism to protect the integrity of genomes, especially in the germ‐line where mutations can be transmitted to offspring. In eusocial insects, soma and germ‐line are divided among worker and reproductive castes,...
