In mouse stem cell nuclei, derepressed endoviral RNA molecules (purple) appear in the same locations as RNA polymerase II-containing condensates (green), as shown in this fluorescence microscopy image. Credit: Asimi et al. Old and dormant genome sequences have an unexpected impact on embryonic development. The mammalian genome contains retroviral sequences that are in an undead …
An international study conducted by the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Bonn has identified a gene that plays an important role in the development of the human embryo. If it is impaired, malformations of various organ systems can result. The gene appeared very early in evolution. It also exists in zebrafish, for example, …
