Maternal mRNAs and proteins dictate early embryonic development before zygotic genome
activation. In the absence of transcription, elaborate control of maternal mRNA translation is …

As in mammals, ovarian folliculogenesis in teleosts also consists of two phases: the primary
growth (PG) and secondary growth (SG) phases, which are analogous to the preantral and …

Background In mammals, maternal gene products decay and zygotic genome activation
(ZGA) during maternal to zygotic transition (MZT) is critical for the early embryogenesis. Y …

Y‐box binding protein 1 (YBX1) is a member of the family of DNA‐and RNA‐binding
proteins that play crucial roles in multiple aspects, including RNA stabilization, translational …

The maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) is a conserved and fundamental process during
which the maternal environment is converted to an environment of embryonic-driven …

Y-box binding protein 1 (YBX1) plays important roles in RNA stabilization, translation,
transcriptional regulation, and mitophagy. However, its effects on porcine preimplantation …

5-Methylcytosine (m5C) is a RNA modification that exists in tRNAs and rRNAs and was
recently found in mRNAs. Although it has been suggested to regulate diverse biological …

A large amount of maternal RNA is deposited in oocytes and is reserved for later
development. Control of maternal RNA translation during oocyte maturation has been …

Background A complex network of signaling pathways and transcription factors regulates
vertebrate mesoderm development. Zebrafish mutants provide a powerful tool for examining …

Chromatin modifiers affect spatiotemporal gene expression programs that underlie
organismal development. The Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is a crucial chromatin …
