GRO-seq of Drosophila embryos at 2-2.5 hours and 3-3.5 hours after egg laying (AEL)
The transition in developmental control from maternal to zygotic gene products marks a critical step in early embryogenesis. Here, we use GRO-seq analysis to map the genome-wide RNA polymerase distribution during the Drosophila maternal to zygotic transition. This analysis unambiguously identifies the zygotic transcriptome, and provides insight into its mechanisms of regulation. Overall design: Two replicates of GRO-seq at each time point.
