Identification of germ plasm‐associated transcripts by microarray analysis of <i>Xenopus</i> vegetal cortex RNA
20 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
RNA localization is a common mechanism for regulating cell structure and function. Localized RNAs in Xenopus oocytes are critical for early development, including germline specification by the germ plasm. Despite the importance of these localized RNAs, only approximately 25 have been identified and fewer are functionally characterized. Using microarrays, we identified a large set of localized RNAs from the...
