Drosophila <i>small ovary</i> gene ensures germline stem cell maintenance and differentiation by silencing transposons and organising heterochromatin
2018-08-02
Abstract excerpt
Self-renewal and differentiation of stem cells is one of the fundamental biological phenomena relying on proper chromatin organisation. In our study, we describe a novel chromatin regulator encoded by the Drosophila small ovary (sov) gene. We demonstrate that sov is required in both the germline stem cells (GSCs) and the surrounding somatic niche cells to ensure GSC survival and differentiation. Sov maintains n...
