Spatio-temporally regulated maternal RNA decay factor essential for zebrafish development

Maternal mRNA decay is essential for the Maternal-to-Zygotic Transition (MZT), yet its impact on spatial regulation has remained largely unexplored.

Maternal mRNA decay is essential for the Maternal-to-Zygotic Transition (MZT), yet its impact on spatial regulation has remained largely unexplored. We identify Cth1 as the first maternally encoded RNA-decay factor regulated in a spatiotemporal manner outside the germline in…
