(a) Fluorescence images showing the chromatin in FGO stained with DAPI. Scale bar, 20 μm. Yellow triangles indicate DAPI-dense heterochromatin foci and the red triangles denote the nucleoli or NLBs.
In the earliest hours after fertilization, an embryo takes its first steps toward becoming a living organism by shedding maternal control and activating its own genetic program. This critical process, ...
Retrotransposons are repetitive elements that form almost half of the mammalian genome. Even though they are so common, they have previously been considered to be fairly insignificant. Together with ...
New findings offer insight into why some embryos fail to develop past zygotic genome activation (ZGA), pointing to an unexpected root of human infertility. A critical point in early development is ...
A new study from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) in London, UK reveals how ancient viral DNA once written off as "junk" plays a crucial role in the earliest moments of life. The research, ...
Transposable elements are stretches of DNA that can move around the genome. Many of these DNA sequences originate from long ago, when viruses inserted their genetic material into our ancestors' ...
Assistant Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, School of Medicine, University of Washington Embryonic development, also known as embryogenesis, is a cornerstone in understanding the origins of life ...
