Loss-of-function of sox3 causes follicle development retardation and reduces fecundity in zebrafish
26 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Folliculogenesis is essential for production of female gametes in vertebrates. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying follicle development, particularly apoptosis regulation in ovary, remain elusive. Here, we generated sox3 knockout zebrafish lines using CRISPR/Cas9. sox3 knockout led to follicle development retardation and a reduced fecundity in females. Comparative analysis of transcriptome...
