Genome does not like to excessively change in male germ cells

Researchers report the function of GTSF1 in germ cells. The study shows that GTSF1 is an essential factor for secondary piRNA biogenesis probably through the step where PIWI-piRNA complexes grasp and/or stabilize the target RNA. The discovery gives important insights on how male germ cells avoid the genome instability caused by excessive retrotransposition.
