[ 1 ] - I-52: Maternal mRNA Metabolism duringOocyte-to-Zygote Transition

Background: Maternal mRNA degradation is a selective process that occurs in waves corresponding to important developmental transitions such as resumption of meiosis, fertilization and zygotic genome activation. It has been demonstrated that the number, position, and combination of 3 UTR cis-acting elements interacting with trans-acting protein factors regulate translation and mRNA stability. Ou...
