Evolution of a cytoplasmic determinant: evidence for the biochemical basis of functional evolution of a novel germ line regulator

2021-04-27

Abstract excerpt

Germ line specification is essential in sexually reproducing organisms. Despite their critical role, the evolutionary history of the genes that specify animal germ cells is heterogeneous and dynamic. In many insects, the gene oskar is required for the specification of the germ line. However, the germ line role of oskar is thought to be a derived role resulting from co-option from an ancestral somatic role. To ad...
