RESETTING. “Alternative transposable element silencing mechanisms, such as those involving small RNAs, may have evolved to ensure proper transposable element control during epigenetic resetting. For example, these mechanisms involve piRNA and/or endo-siRNA in mammal male and female germ lines, respectively, and transfer of siRNA from the central cell to the egg cell in plant female gametophytes.”
