  "summary": "The piRNA pathway maintains genome integrity by silencing transposons cotranscriptionally in the nucleus through recognition of nascent transposon RNAs and recruitment of endogenous transcriptional and chromatin-level repressive mechanisms to transposon loci. However, the molecular link between the SFiNX complex, which recognizes nascent transposon RNA, and downstream effector complexes has…",
