Abstract
MRNA synthesized in the developing sea urchin through the blastula stage is essentially the same as that in the unfertilized egg. Between the blastula and gastrula stages, about 40% of this population disappears and is replaced by different mRNA, characteristic of later stages of development. This major shift in mRNA population arising from a combination of gene activation and deactivation leaves unchanges the maintenance of functions common to all stages programmed by an invariant portion of the mRNA population.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
