Each of our cells contains a full set of instructions needed to make an entire human: the genome. But a few special species buck this trend. A new study now identifies the first germline-specific gene in zebra finch, one of a small number of vertebrates that are known to undergo developmentally programmed DNA elimination.
基因组。但有几个特殊物种打破了这一趋势。一项新的研究现在确定了斑胸草雀生殖系特有的第一个基因,斑胸草雀是已知在发育过程中经历程序性 DNA 消除的少数脊椎动物之一。
