CONTINUE READINGRequirement 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 […]
CONTINUE READINGDual mode of embryonic development is highlighted by expression and function of Nasonia pair-rule gene Miriam I Rosenberg, Ava E Brent, François Payre, Claude Desplan Embryonic anterior–posterior patterning is well understood in Drosophila, which uses ‘long germ’ embryogenesis, in which all segments are patterned before cellularization. In contrast, most insects use ‘short germ’ embryogenesis, wherein […]
CONTINUE READINGThe Earliest Transcribed Zygotic Genes Are Short, Newly Evolved, and Different across Species Patricia Heyn, Martin Kircher, Andreas Dahl, Janet Kelso, Pavel Tomancak, Alex T Kalinka, Karla M Neugebauer The transition from maternal to zygotic control is fundamental to the life cycle of all multicellular organisms. It is widely believed that genomes are transcriptionally inactive […]

Biochemical Society Transactions (in Press). Abstract Sexual reproduction is the main reproductive strategy of the overwhelming majority of eukaryotes. This suggests that the last eukaryotic common ancestor was able to reproduce sexually. Sexual […]

CONTINUE READINGNanog, Pou5f1 and SoxB1 activate zygotic gene expression during the maternal-to-zygotic transition. Lee MT, Bonneau AR, Takacs CM, Bazzini AA, Divito KR, Fleming ES, Giraldez AJ. Department of Genetics, Yale University Schoo (l) of Medicine, New Haven, Connecticut 06510, USA (2). After fertilization, maternal factors direct development and trigger zygotic genome activation (ZGA) at the […]
