Germ plasm, the Balbiani body and nuage are evolutionary conserved structures essential for germ cell specification and maintenance. We describe Tdrd6a as a component of these structures with two dist
To better understand the underlying dynamics driving formation of the spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) pool during development, we performed single-cell RNA-sequencing on mouse germ cells isolated from
Repurposing of pleiotropic factors during execution of diverse cellular processes has emerged as a regulatory paradigm. Embryonic development in metazoans is controlled by maternal factors deposited i
