Abstract excerpt
In remarkable contrast to somatic cells, the germline of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans efficiently silences transgenic DNA. The molecular mechanisms responsible for this have been shown to implicate chromatin proteins encoded by the mes genes (Kelly, W. G. and Fire, A. (1998) Development 125, 2451-2456), of which two are the C. elegans homologs of Polycomb Group gene transcriptional repressors. We have...
