Identification of maternal-effect genes in zebrafish using maternal crispants. [PDF]
Development, 2021 ABSTRACT In animals, early development is dependent on a pool of maternal factors, both RNA and proteins, which are required for basic cellular processes and cell differentiation until zygotic genome activation. The role of the majority of these maternally expressed factors is not fully understood.

Maternal nutritional status mediates the association between maternal age and birth outcomes [PDF]
, 2020 Young maternal age during pregnancy is linked with adverse birth outcomes. This study examined the role of maternal nutritional status in the association between maternal age and small for gestational age (SGA) delivery and birth length.

Evolution of maternal effect senescence. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2016 SignificanceEvolutionary theory underpins our understanding of the aging process. The many aspects of reproduction that decline with maternal age in animals include number of offspring born, offspring size, and neonatal survival. Current theories of aging ignore potential differences in the evolutionary pressures on these traits.

Problems in estimating maternal effects [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 1980 Abstract The basic problems inherent in the estimation of maternal effects are considered. A maternal effect is defined as an effect contributed to the phenotypic value of an offspring by his dam. The two most important problems are the confounding of the maternal effect of the dam and her genetic contribution to the genotypic value of her offspring ...

Maternal atopy and offspring epigenome-wide methylation signature
Epigenetics, 2021 The increase in the prevalence of allergic diseases is believed to partially depend on environmental changes. DNA methylation is a major epigenetic mechanism, which is known to respond to environmental factors.
