Abstract: The localization and organization of mitochondria- and ribonucleoprotein granule-rich germ plasm is essential for many aspects of germ cell development. In Xenopus, germ plasm is maternally inherited and is required for the specification of primordial… read more here.

Abstract: Piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) and PIWI proteins play a crucial role in germ cells by repressing transposable elements and regulating gene expression. In Drosophila, maternal piRNAs are loaded into the embryo mostly bound to the PIWI… read more here.

Abstract: Significance Germ cells maintain the species’ genome across generations. PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) silence transposons using the information of previously invaded transposons, thereby contributing to genome integrity. In the Drosophila ovary, one of the PIWI proteins,… read more here.
