Maternal microRNAs are essential for mouse zygotic development

Article Abstract:

The functions of microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) during early mammalian development are discussed. The impact of the loss of maternal inheritance of the miRNAs following specific deletions from growing oocytes is investigated, and it is concluded that maternal genes are largely controlled by miRNAs and are essential for the earliest stages of mouse embryonic development.

Genome-wide view of cell fate specification: ladybird acts as multiple levels during diversification of muscle and heart precursors

Article Abstract:

Several genome-wide studies are conducted to explain the cell identity functions of the ladybird genes. The diversification of muscle and heart precursors is found to be a multistep process in ladybirds.
