Mechanisms and timing of programmed DNA elimination in songbirds

2025-05-29

Abstract excerpt

It is commonly assumed that multicellular organisms contain the same genetic information in all the cells of an individual. However, there is a growing list of species in which parts of the genome are removed from some cells of the organism through a process called programmed DNA elimination. In songbirds, an entire chromosome, called the germline-restricted chromosome (GRC), is lost from all somatic cells during...
