The mechanism for primordial germ-cell migration is conserved between Japanese eel and zebrafish.

The mechanism for primordial germ-cell migration is conserved between Japanese eel and zebrafish.

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are segregated and specified from somatic cells during early development. These cells arise elsewhere and have to migrate across the embryo to reach developing gonadal precursors.
