Germline removal reprograms somatic genome maintenance towards faster, energy-efficient, high-fidelity DNA defence and repair
Germ cells maintain their genomes with greater fidelity than somatic cells, yet how germline status systemically shapes somatic genome protection in vertebrates remains poorly understood. Combining germline ablation with multi-organ transcriptomics in zebrafish (Danio rerio), we dissected germline control of somatic DNA repair and genotoxic stress responses. Using CRISPR/Cas9 mediated knockout of…
