Programmed DNA elimination of germline development genes in songbirds

Programmed DNA elimination of germline development genes in songbirds

Songbirds have extensive germline–soma genome differences due to developmental elimination of a germline-specific chromosome (GRC). Here, the authors show that the GRC contains dozens of expressed developmental genes, some of which have been on the GRC since the ancestor of all songbirds.
