| Term | gene silencing by piRNA-directed DNA methylation | ID (Ontology) | GO:0141176 (Gene Ontology) |
| Definition | A small RNA-based gene silencing process in which Piwi-associated RNAs (piRNAs) guide de novo DNA methylation. This results in a heterochromatin assembly, a chromatin conformation that is refractory to transcription.[ PubMed:32674113 PubMed:38359823 ] | ||
