Abstract

Transposons (Transposable Elements or TEs) are a constant menace for human genome integrity as various diseases like SCID, DMD, Haemophilias, have been attributed to retrotransposon activity etc. Piwi-interacting RNA (piRNA) plays a pivotal role in RNA interference and their mechanism involved silencing selfish genetic material (Transposonable elements) in the germline and there by preserving genome integrity between generation. This study attempts to gain insights on the conserved features of piRNA using an artificial intelligence technique – Self Organizing Map (Kohonen Map).
