CRISPR-Cas9 editing of non-coding genomic loci as a means of controlling gene expression in the sea urchin

A Pieplow, M Dastaw, T Sakuma, N Sakamoto… - Developmental …, 2021 - Elsevier
We seek to manipulate gene function here through CRISPR-Cas9 editing of cis-regulatory
sequences, rather than the more typical mutation of coding regions. This approach would …

Evidence for BMP‐mediated specification of primordial germ cells in an indirect‐develo** hemichordate

CY Lin, JK Yu, YH Su - Evolution & Development, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are specified during development by either one of two major
mechanisms, the preformation mode or the inductive mode. Because the inductive mode is …
