As part of the germ plasm, Oskar induces polar (or germ) granule formation and in doing so interacts with a number of genes that characterise these polar granules, in particular tudor (tud), vasa (vas) and valois (vls) [ 3, 103].
Submerge your sippy cup part in warm soapy water (warm water and soap helps to rid sippy cup parts of germs) and gently scrub the entire inner and outer surface of the sippy cup part until it is visibly clean.
In Xenopus laevis, germ cells are specified by inheriting maternal determinants that are part of the germ plasm.
Fifty miles southwest of Moscow but unlisted on Soviet maps, Obolensk until recently was closed not only to foreigners, but also to Soviet scientists who were not part of the germ warfare program.
At the time it was thought that all infectious agents could be retained by filters and grown on a nutrient medium – this was part of the germ theory of disease.
It is also unknown whether the smaller mt genome type found in Coloceras is part of the germ line or if the deletion has occurred within the life span of the louse.
The prospective potency that is, the full range of developmental performance of which a given part of the germ is capable under any conceivable circumstances equals its prospective fate, the lineage of each part of the egg through its cell descendants into a definite portion of the adult.
However, interpretation of the observed gene expression patterns is complicated by the accompanying movement of cells, as the posterior disc converges to form the germ band, and as anterior parts of the germ band condense towards the head [ 14].
Studies of human germ cell development are limited in large part by inaccessibility of germ cells during development.
This HELP microarray may provide new information about previously unexplored parts of the germ cell epigenome.
