YTHDC2 is required for meiotic progression through the pachytene stage. Inducible inactivation of YTHDC2 causes a massively dysregulated transcriptome in pachytene cells and altered transcripts in YTHDC2-deficient cells encode microtubule network proteins. Depletion of YTHDC2 leads to telomere clustering in pachytene cells.

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.
