Abstract excerpt
Germ granules are non-membrane bound, phase-separated organelles, composed of RNAs and proteins. Germ granules are present only within the germ cells of animals, including model systems such as Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila, mice, and zebrafish, where they play critical roles in specifying the germ lineage, the inheritance of epigenetic information, and post-transcriptional gene regulation. Across species,...
