Stochastic specification of primordial germ cells from mesoderm precursors in axolotl embryos (2014)
Journal Article

A common feature of development in most vertebrate models is the early segregation of the germ line from the soma. For example, in Xenopus and zebrafish embryos primordial germ cells (PGCs) are specified by germ plasm that is inherited from the egg;...

Transient Accumulation of 5-Carboxylcytosine Indicates Involvement of Active Demethylation in Lineage Specification of Neural Stem Cells (2014)
Journal Article

5-Methylcytosine (5mC) is an epigenetic modification involved in regulation of gene activity during differentiation. Tet dioxygenases oxidize 5mC to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), 5-formylcytosine (5fC), and 5-carboxylcytosine (5caC). Both 5fC and 5...

Kinetochore assembly and heterochromatin formation occur autonomously in Schizosaccharomyces pombe (2014)
Journal Article

Kinetochores in multicellular eukaryotes are usually associated with heterochromatin. Whether this heterochromatin simply promotes the cohesion necessary for accurate chromosome segregation at cell division or whether it also has a role in kinetochor...
