The oyster vasa-like gene: a specific marker of the germline in Crassostrea gigas

The vasa gene is,a key determinant for germline formation in eukaryotes. This gene, highly conserved through evolution, encodes a RNA helicase protein member of the DEAD-box family. To understand the germline formation in oyster, we report here the isolation and the characterization of a vasa orthol...
