Programmed DNA elimination of germline development genes in songbirds

2018-10-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Genomes can vary within individual organisms. Programmed DNA elimination leads to dramatic changes in genome organisation during the germline–soma differentiation of ciliates 1 , lampreys 2 , nematodes 3,4 , and various other eukaryotes 5 . A particularly remarkable example of tissue-specific genome differentiation is the germline-restricted chromosome (GRC) in the zebra finch which is consis...
