Abstract excerpt
Germ cells in zebrafish are specified by a preformation mechanism, unlike in mice. Max (Myc associated factor X) and its associated PRC1.6 (polycomb repressive complex 1.6) act as negative regulators of germ cell- and meiosis-related genes in mice; however, their function in zebrafish remains unknown. Here, we generated max mutants in zebrafish using genome-editing techniques to investigate the role of Max in...
