Excited to share a preprint with some work from my undergrad project in the St Johnston lab! 🪰 we show an important role for the MT (-) end binding protein Patronin in Drosophila oocyte selection biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Symmetry breaking in the female germline cyst

In mammals and flies, only a limited number of cells in a multicellular female germline cyst become oocytes, but how the oocyte is selected is unknown. Here we show that the microtubule minus...

Fundamentally important paper! Oocyte specification from the germline cyst cluster was always so mysterious to me! This work on the role if patronin in symmetry breaking is amazing! #oocyte #devbio biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
