Abstract:Zygotic genome activation (ZGA), a universal process in early embryogenesis that occurs during the maternal-to-zygotic transition, involves reprogramming in the zygotic nucleus that initiates global transcription. In recent decades, knowledge of this process has been acquired from research on various model organisms; however, a consensus explanation of the mechanism underlying the process, especially in relation to housekeeping gene reactivation, is lacking. Here, we used hybrids derived from two ascidian spec… Show more
