Title: Unraveling the Role of Argonaute Proteins in Male Germ Line Development
Project Amount: $52,000
Project Period: June 2020 to May 2021
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):
The goal of my study is to investigate the importance of AGO3 and AGO4 in the male germline of the mouse to expand our knowledge of roles of the non-slicing Argonautes and their small ncRNA cargoes in mammalian germ cell development.
