The maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is one of the most profound and tightly orchestrated processes during the early life of… Expand

Significance Studies examining paternal exposure to diverse environmental stimuli propose that epigenetic marks in germ cells… Expand

Piwi-associated RNAs (piRNAs), a specific class of 24- to 30-nucleotide-long RNAs produced by the Piwi-type of Argonaute proteins… Expand

In animals, egg activation triggers a cascade of posttranscriptional events that act on maternally synthesized RNAs. We show that… Expand

During oogenesis, mRNA is actively transcribed and accumulated in growing oocytes, but this transcription stops before the… Expand

A major pathway of mRNA turnover in eukaryotic cells initiates with deadenylation, leading to mRNA decapping and subsequent 5' to… Expand

We find that mRNA synthesized within the Xenopus oocyte nucleus is translated with an efficiency 50 times less than that of mRNA… Expand

The analysis of differential gene expression during preimplantation embryogenesis has been hindered by the paucity of biological… Expand

In an effort to understand how polarity is established in Xenopus oocytes, we have analyzed the process of localization of the… Expand

Sheep embryos, radiolabelled with [35S]methionine, were studied during the first four cell cycles after fertilization to… Expand
