The germline-restricted chromosome orchestrates germ cell development in passerine birds

2025-12-05

Abstract excerpt

While the definition of germ cell fate has been extensively studied in model organisms, evolutionary innovations and mechanistic novelties may remain hidden in understudied systems. The phenomenon of programmed DNA elimination allows germ cells to acquire germline-restricted genes, offering a novel paradigm of germ cell specificity. In passerine birds, the germline-restricted chromosome (GRC) is eliminated from so...
