Abstract
Axes formation in flies and frogs largely depends on RNA localization pathways functioning in the oocytes. It is thought that motors moving along the cytoskeleton enable the selective transport of RNAs to different destinations during oocyte development. Many of the steps in RNA localization are conserved, despite the existence of a variety of mechanisms, including the formation of nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes, and active transport along microtubules.
