RNA interference, Drosophila's natural protection against genomic conflicts
The TEMIT project uses Drosophila as an animal model to study genomic conflicts and their evolutionary consequences over several generations. This makes it possible to test the role of different elements of the genome that react to viral infections.
RNA interference enables them to defend themselves against viral infections and transposable elements (DNA fragments capable of moving from one region of the genome to another and threatening its integrity by causing mutations). This report was produced and financed as part of the "Science Avec et Pour la Société" (SAPS) call for projects.
