Review
The function and regulation of vasa-like genes in germ-cell development
Genome Biol.
2000.
Abstract
The vasa gene, essential for germ-cell development, was originally identified in Drosophila, and has since been found in other invertebrates and vertebrates. Analysis of these vasa homologs has revealed a highly conserved role for Vasa protein among different organisms, as well as some important differences in its regulation.
