Somatic gene repression ensures physical segregation of germline and soma in <i>Drosophila</i> embryos

2025-06-15

Abstract excerpt

In many animals, primordial germ cells are transiently segregated outside the somatic-cell cluster that forms the embryo’s body during early embryogenesis. This physical segregation of germline from the soma has been long believed to be crucial for germline development, but the mechanisms controlling this segregation and its developmental significance remain unclear. Here, in Drosophila , we show that somatic gen...
