Comparative functional and evolutionary analysis of essential germline stem cell genes across the genus Drosophila and two outgroup species

2025-05-06

Abstract excerpt

In Drosophila melanogaster, bag of marbles ( bam ) encodes a protein essential for germline stem cell daughter (GSC) differentiation in early gametogenesis. Despite its essential role in D. melanogaster , direct functional evaluation of bam in other closely related Drosophila species reveal this essential function is not necessarily conserved. In D. teissieri , for example, bam is not essential for GSC daug...
