Show abstract
In C. elegans, the chromosome compaction factors topoisomerase 2 (TOP-2) and condensin II have been shown to globally repress transcription in multiple contexts. Our group has previously reported that TOP-2 and condensin II repress transcription in the C. elegans germline during larval starvation, oocyte maturation, and in germline progenitor cells of the early embryo. Here, we assess the transcriptome of early embryos treated with RNAi against TOP-2 and the condensin II subunit CAPG-2. We found 144 upregulated and 172 downregulated genes. Further analysis showed that the upregulated genes are mostly somatic, with a host of neuronal cells present in our tissue enrichment analysis.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
