 piRNA ping-pong amplification (source code)

= piRNA ping-pong amplification
{c}

Reciprocal guide-directed cleavage produces new <piRNA> ends from complementary precursor or target <RNAs>. A 10-nucleotide overlap of opposite-strand 5′ ends supports this mechanism but does not prove amplification in every <piRNA> pathway.
