The maternal-to-zygotic transition: a play in two acts

TL;DR: The maternal-to-zygotic transition (MZT) has been extensively studied in model organisms, including echinoderms, nematodes, insects, fish, amphibians and mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vectors for Drosophila P-element-mediated transformation and tissue culture transfection.

TL;DR: Nine P-element vectors that can be used to study gene regulation and function in Drosophila are described, designed for use in germline transformation and cell culture transfection assays.
Journal ArticleDOI

RNA Localization in Development

TL;DR: This review considers RNA localization in the context of animal development with a focus on mRNAs and non-protein-coding RNAs localized in Drosophila, Xenopus, ascidian, zebrafish, and echinoderm oocytes and embryos.
Journal ArticleDOI

SMAUG Is a Major Regulator of Maternal mRNA Destabilization in Drosophila and Its Translation Is Activated by the PAN GU Kinase

TL;DR: Microarray-based gene expression profiling shows that SMG is a major regulator of maternal transcript destabilization, and a possible causal relationship between failure to eliminate these transcripts and the cell cycle defects in smg mutants is suggested.
