Journal ArticleDOI
Chromatin dynamics during spermiogenesis.
TL;DR: This review highlights the current knowledge on post-meiotic chromatin reorganization and reveals for the first time intriguing parallels in this process in Drosophila and mammals and illustrates the possible mechanisms that lead from a histone-based chromatin to a mainly protamine-based structure during spermatid differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epigenetic Transitions in Germ Cell Development and Meiosis
Satya K. Kota,Robert Feil +1 more
TL;DR: Epigenetic transitions during gametogenesis are reviewed and novel insights from animal and human studies are discussed, which contribute to sex determination in insects and mediate genomic imprinting in mammals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drosophila spermiogenesis: Big things come from little packages
TL;DR: The stages of Drosophila spermiogenesis are reviewed and the current understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in shaping male germ cell-specific organelles and forming mature, fertile sperm is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
The sperm nucleus: chromatin, RNA and the nuclear matrix
Graham Johnson,Claudia Lalancette,Amelia K. Linnemann,Frédéric Leduc,Guylain Boissonneault,Stephen A. Krawetz +5 more
TL;DR: This review explores and discusses how the suite of RNAs retained in the mature sperm may synergistically interact to direct early embryonic gene expression and how these features reflect the transcriptional history of spermatogenic differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The New RNA World: Growing Evidence for Long Noncoding RNA Functionality
Allison Jandura,Henry M. Krause +1 more
TL;DR: This Opinion article reemphasizes the unique abilities of RNAs to form myriad structures as well as to interact with other RNAs, DNA, and proteins, which provide them with unique and powerful abilities.

The Genetics and biology of Drosophila
TL;DR: This is the first attempt since 1925 to publish a comprehensive account of the biology and genetics of Drosophila and it aims to collate the dauntingly large literature on the subject and to make more accessible the private language ot the Dosophilist.
