Expression of germline markers in three species of amphioxus supports a preformation mechanism of germ cell development in cephalochordates

BACKGROUND: In a previous study, we showed that the cephalochordate amphioxus Branchiostoma floridae has localized maternal transcripts of conserved germ cell markers Vasa and Nanos in its early embryos. These results provided strong evidence to support a preformation mechanism for primordial germ c...
