Differential regulation of ribogenesis genes throughout oogenesis in thicklip grey mullets, Chelon labrosus, preparing the maternal contribution to embryo development

Oocytes in teleosts undergo complex changes during oogenesis, including the accumulation of ribosomal RNAs and tRNAs needed to support protein synthesis during early embryogenesis. Previous studies show that high levels of 5S rRNA and tRNAs in perinucleolar previtellogenic (PV) o...
