Requirement for highly efficient pre-mRNA splicing during Drosophila early embryonic development (2014). Leonardo Gastón Guilgur, Pedro Prudêncio, Daniel Sobral, Denisa Liszekova, André Rosa, Rui Gonçalo Martinho. eLife 2014;3:e02181. Abstract Drosophila syncytial nuclear divisions limit transcription unit size of early zygotic genes. As mitosis inhibits not only transcription, but also pre-mRNA splicing, we reasoned that constraints […]

In contrast, most insects use ‘short germ’ embryogenesis, wherein […]
