Human Reproduction is Regulated by Retrotransposons derived from Ancient Hominin-Specific Viral Infections

2020-10-02

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Germ cells are essential to pass DNA from one generation to the next. In human reproduction, germ cell development begins with the specification of primordial germ cells (PGCs) and a failure to specify PGCs leads to human infertility. Recent studies have revealed that the transcription factor network required for PGC specification has diverged in mammals, and this has a significant impa...
