Endogenous retrovirus rewired the gene regulatory network shared between primordial germ cells and naïve pluripotent cells in hominoids
2021-03-10
Abstract excerpt
Although the gene regulatory network controlling germ cell development is critical for gamete integrity, this network has been substantially diversified during mammalian evolution. Here, we show that several hundred loci of LTR5_Hs, a hominoid-specific endogenous retrovirus (ERV), function as enhancers in both human primordial germ cells (PGCs) and naïve pluripotent cells. PGCs and naïve pluripotent cells exhibit...
