Analyses of zebrafish and <it>Xenopus </it>oocyte maturation reveal conserved and diverged features of translational regulation of maternal cyclin B1 mRNA

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Vertebrate development relies on the regulated translation of stored maternal mRNAs, but how these regulatory mechanisms may have evolved to control translational efficiency of individual mRNAs is poorly understood. We compared the t...
