Investigating the association between germ line specification and sequence evolution in vertebrates
Within vertebrates the primordial germ cells (PGCs) can either be induced by embryonic signals (known as epigenesis), or predetermined by maternally deposited germ plasm (preformation). Epigenesis is known to be the ancestral mechanism, while preformation has evolved multiple times. Epigenesis has b...
