With the ability to undergo both mitosis and meiosis, germ cells give rise to gametes and serve as the link between generations in sexually reproducing organisms. This collection reviews the biology of germ cells in metazoans, describing the undifferentiated state of germline stem cells, the triggers for meiotic entry, and the transcriptional and posttranscriptional controls that lead to the formation of mature gametes during spermatogenesis and oogenesis.
