A two-tiered transcription regulation mechanism that protects germ cell identity.
It too, however, may be generating a background level of random epigenetic mutations in each germ cell generation.
The stages during germ cell differentiation, fertilisation and embryonic development during which erasure, establishment and maintenance of imprinting occur are shown.
It was concluded that both genic factors and pairing problems are involved in promoting germ cell death and nondisjunction.
Two germ cell lineages with genomes of different species in one and the same animal.
In our study, the use of a pool of spermatogenic cells rather than a purified germ cell population might not be ideal.
Apoptosis-associated signaling pathways are required for chemotherapy-mediated germ cell destruction.
At what stage is germ cell apoptosis maximum?
