From prokaryotic CRISPR to eukaryotic RNA interference (RNAi), small RNA-based mechanisms have been universally employed to defend the host against genome invaders, including viruses and transposable elements. Transposons and endogenous retroviruses are genomic DNA sequences that can change their po...
