Abstract

In this issue of Developmental Cell, Cornes et al. show that piRNAs initiate transcriptional silencing of spermatogenesis genes in the C. elegans germline via an endogenous nuclear RNAi pathway. This silencing enables a timely transition from spermatogenesis to oogenesis during hermaphrodite development, thus promoting fertility.<br />Competing Interests: Declaration of interests The authors declare no competing interests.<br /> (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
