Germline development in rat revealed by visualization and deletion of Prdm14
1 Jan 2020
Abstract excerpt
Primordial germ cells (PGCs), the founder cells of the germline, are specified in pre-gastrulating embryos in mammals, and subsequently migrate towards gonads to mature into functional gametes. Here, we investigated PGC development in rats, by genetically modifying Prdm14, a unique marker and a critical PGC transcriptional regulator. We trace PGC development in rats, for the first time, from specification until...
