MicroRNA biogenesis and cytoophidia in Drosophila melanogaster
- Abstract:
-
This thesis contains two separate projects. The first project involves the study of Argonaute 1 (Ago1) which is a member of the Argonaute/PIWI protein family involved in small RNA-mediated gene regulation. In Drosophila, Ago1 plays a specific role in microRNA (miRNA) function. Previous studies have demonstrated that Ago1 regulates the fate of germline stem cells. However, the function of Ago1 in other aspects of oogenesis is still elusive. Here, the function of Ago1 was analysed in the fem...
