The piRNA Pathway
PIWI clade proteins of the Argonaute family and their guiding PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) form the core of an RNA interference-based regulatory machinery that is mostly exclusive to animals (Gebert & Rosenkranz 2015, Ozata et al. 2019). The classical view of this system, known as the piRNA pathway, is that of a 'guardian of the genome' (Malone and Hannon 2009). This is because the initially discovered and prime function of the piRNA pathway is the defense of the genome against transposable elements (or transposons), especially in the germline (Aravin et al. 2006, Grivna et al. 2006, Brennecke et al. 2007). If left unchecked these 'selfish' mobile genetic elements proliferate in the genome and can cause serious harm to genome integrity, e. g. by disrupting protein-coding genes (Kazazian et al. 1988, Miki et al. 1992). This is particularly critical in the germline, where any such genomic changes are passed on to the next generation. However, some genes and long non-coding RNAs have also been shown to be regulated by the piRNA pathway (Rouget et al. 2010, Gou et al. 2014, Watanabe et al. 2015, Gebert et al. 2015). Its targets can be regulated, both, transcriptionally and post-transcriptionally and they are recognized through sequence complementarity to piRNAs, which guide their associated PIWI proteins to the corresponding RNA sequence (Brennecke et al. 2007, Aravin et al. 2008). While in vertebrates, the piRNA pathway is very much restricted to the germline, in invertebrate groups such as arthropods and mollusks, piRNAs are in addition ubiquitously found in somatic tissues (Lewis et al. 2018, Jehn et al. 2018). Moreover, PIWI proteins and piRNAs were even identified in somatic stem cells of quite basal taxa, such as sponges and cnidarians (Funayama et al. 2010, Juliano et al. 2014), suggesting that the piRNA pathway emerged early in the evolution of animals before the emergence of a separated germline.

piRNA Clusters
In almost all animal species, large piRNA-producing loci, the so-called piRNA clusters, give rise to the vast majority of piRNAs and are viewed to be central to the piRNA pathway. These genomic loci are transcribed uni- or bidirectionally into long precursor RNAs (Figure 1), which in turn are processed into 24-30nt mature piRNAs, mostly beginning with a uracil base at their 5' ends, as they are loaded onto PIWI proteins (Czech and Hannon 2016). These PIWI/piRNA complexes, together with other protein components, can then find their targets and elicit transcriptional and post-transcription silencing (Ozata et al. 2019). The latter involves mechanisms that further increase the amount of piRNAs, namely ping pong amplification (Brennecke et al. 2007, Gunawardane et al. 2007) and piRNA phasing (Mohn et al. 2015, Han et al. 2015).

Figure 1. Biogenesis of piRNAs from piRNA Clusters to PIWI/piRNA Complexes and Target Silencing. piRNA clusters are transcribed into large piRNA precursor RNAs, which are processed into pre-piRNAs and loaded onto PIWI proteins. PIWI/piRNA complexes recognize target transcripts and process them within the ping-pong cycle and the phased biogenesis piRNA pathway.

With notable exceptions such as nematodes, typically up to a few hundred piRNA clusters, with sizes ranging between a few thousand base pairs to hundreds of thousands, are dispersed throughout a given genome. Importantly, they tend to occupy different genomic territories in different lineages, such as pericentric heterochromatin in flies (Brennecke et al. 2007), or more euchromatic regions in mammals (Li et al. 2013). However, piRNA clusters are not static and evolve rapidly on a large scale, quickly coming and going, while evolving neutrally on the sequence level (Assis and Kondrashov 2009, Chirn et al. 2015, Gebert et al. 2019). Therefore, the regulatory network that piRNA clusters and their targets form (Figure 2), can enormously vary between species and broader phylogenetic groups.

Figure 2. piRNA Clusters as Genome Regulators. Large piRNA-producing loci (piRNA clusters), up to >100kb, are distributed around the genome and produce piRNAs that regulate targets transcriptionally and/or post-transcriptionally. The figure is a simple schematic of the complex regulatory relations between piRNA clusters and target sequences, which can be transposable elements, protein-coding genes, or even long non-coding RNAs.

How to use
The piRNA cluster database is divided into three sections, represented by three panels. The top section is the primary entry point, in which you can choose your favorite species from overall 51, either from a cladogram with selectable species symbols or from a table of all available species. The latter also includes systematic information, as well as download links to assemblies, piRNA clusters, and clustered piRNAs. Further, the top panel includes a list of publications linked to the available species, of which datasets are included in the piRNA cluster database.
The "browse clusters" section includes a selectable list of piRNA clusters for a chosen species and a piRNA expression browser for a given piRNA cluster for all available samples. Each sample can be selected/deselected. On top, the browser includes gene and repeat annotation with additional mouse-over information boxes.
The final panel contains the SRA dataset section, listing all available samples from the currently chosen species. For each dataset that is being selected, we provide detailed information on small RNA composition and piRNA characteristics, as well as download links for each annotated small RNA subset.
The piRNA cluster database works best on Firefox and Chrome. We are working on solving loading-speed issues with Safari.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you encounter any problems with the piRNA cluster database or if you would like to see a specific dataset, including from species that are not yet part of the database, to be added.
