Germline/soma distinction in Drosophila embryos requires regulators of zygotic genome activation

Megan M Colonnetta, Paul D. Schedl, Girish Deshpande

The paper shows that Zelda and CLAMP are required for proper germline/soma distinction in Drosophila embryos by regulating PGC determinant sequestration and preventing their spread to somatic nuclei.
