Abstract

Germ granules have been hypothesized to deliver mRNAs of germ cell fate determinants to primordial germ cells. Now, a new study in Development finds that many mRNAs enriched in germ granules are not involved in germline development in Caenorhabditis elegans. To find out more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author Alyshia Scholl, second author Yihong Liu and corresponding author Geraldine Seydoux, Professor at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
