The paper optimizes ATAC-seq for low-input and cryopreserved chicken primordial germ cells, identifying PGC-specific chromatin regions and their functional roles.

This study compares transcriptomes of cultured and in vivo chicken primordial germ cells using single-cell RNA sequencing, revealing shifts in gene regulatory networks and new intermediate cell states.

This paper introduces a method using Lycopersicon Esculentum lectin to label and sort primordial germ cells in avian species, showing high efficiency and subtype identification.

This study describes a method to apply prime editing to chicken fibroblasts and primordial germ cells, enabling precise gene modification in these cells.
