Expression of AAACTAC satellite repeats as a long noncoding RNA in the early oocyte of Drosophila virilis
This study identifies a novel, evolutionarily conserved long noncoding RNA derived from AAACTAC satellite repeats that is specifically expressed in the early oocyte nucleus of *Drosophila virilis*, distinguishing it from the majority of satellite transcripts that primarily function as piRNA precursors.
