What's a GeneRIF?

Disruption of piRNA machinery by deletion of ASZ1/GASZ results in the expression of aberrant chimeric transcripts in gonocytes.
Title: Disruption of piRNA machinery by deletion of ASZ1/GASZ results in the expression of aberrant chimeric transcripts in gonocytes.
GASZ interacts with itself at the outer membrane of mitochondria and promotes mitofusion in a mitofusin/MFN-dependent manner. GASZ contains a functional mitochondrial targeting signal .
Title: GASZ and mitofusin-mediated mitochondrial functions are crucial for spermatogenesis.
Data reveal a potential role of GASZ during embryonic germ cell development and provide a powerful in vitro system for dissecting the molecular pathways in early germ cell formation during embryogenesis.
Title: GASZ promotes germ cell derivation from embryonic stem cells.
GASZ is essential for meiosis and suppression of retrotransposon expression in the male germ cells.
Title: GASZ is essential for male meiosis and suppression of retrotransposon expression in the male germline.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
