Surprisingly, although 22G-RNAs silence TEs, we found that the total levels of 22G-RNAs mapping to TEs were increased in lines maintained at smaller population sizes, although this increase was only marginally significant (Jh, p = 0.05; LR, p = 0.07; Fig. 5 d). 22G-RNA levels mapping to TEs targeted by piRNAs behaved similarly (Additional File 1 : Fig.
