Ectopic expression of the germline transcription factor LSL-1 contributes to developmental delay following failed maternal epigenetic reprogramming

Benjamin Nguyen, Zaynab Massenburg, Joshua Labus, Sundas Hassan Johnson, Sarah D. Blancher, Miyah Jones, Brandon S. Carpenter

The paper shows that LSL-1, a germline transcription factor, contributes to developmental delay when maternal epigenetic reprogramming fails, by promoting ectopic gene expression in somatic tissues.

The Dream and MEC NuRD Complexes reinforce SPR-5/MET-2 maternal reprogramming to maintain the germline-soma distinction

Sindy R. Chavez, Jazmin Dozier, Saahj P. Gosrani, Sandra Nguyen, Jovan S. Brockett, Sarah D. Blancher, Sydney L. Morgan-Benitez, Juan D Rodriguez, Onur Birol, Monica N. Reeves, Karen L. Schmeichel, David J. Katz, Brandon S. Carpenter

The paper shows that DREAM and MEC NuRD complexes reinforce SPR-5/MET-2 maternal reprogramming to prevent germline gene expression in somatic tissues and developmental delay in C. elegans.
