Spermatogenesis is the biological process by which male sperm cells (spermatozoa) are produced in testes. Beyond facilitating transmission of genetic information, spermatogenesis also provides a potential framework for inter- and transgenerational inheritance gene-regulatory states. While extensively studied mammals, our understanding anamniotes remains limited. Here we present comprehensive single-cell multiomics resource, combining RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) chromatin accessibility...
During meiotic prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair, synapse and recombine in a tightly regulated process that ensures the generation of genetically variable haploid gametes. Although mechanisms underlying cell division have been well studied model species, our understanding dynamics I non-traditional mammals remains its infancy. Here, we reveal key features previously uncharacterised marsupial species (the tammar wallaby fat-tailed dunnart), plus mouse opossum, with focus on sex...
Nanoplastics pollution is a rising environmental concern whose impacts on biodiversity and human health are far from being understood. This particularly salient in aquatic ecosystems, where the majority of species depend external fertilization for reproduction. Here we evaluated effects short-term exposure to engineered polystyrene nanoplastics (NPs) zebrafish germline further explore their impact To this end, (Danio rerio) were exposed 5 mg/L 45 nm (PS)-NPs via water 96 h. We show that,...
