On the control of oocyte meiotic maturation and ovulation in Caenorhabditis elegans

TL;DR: By systematically altering the germ cell contents of the hermaphrodite using mutant strains, this work has uncovered evidence of four cell-cell interactions that regulate maturation and ovulation in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole-genome sequencing and variant discovery in C. elegans.

TL;DR: This study sequenced a Caernohabditis elegans N2 Bristol strain isolate and compared the reads to the reference genome to characterize the data and to evaluate coverage and representation, demonstrating the utility of massively parallel short read sequencing for whole genome resequencing and for accurate discovery of genome-wide polymorphisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Sperm Cytoskeletal Protein That Signals Oocyte Meiotic Maturation and Ovulation

TL;DR: It is shown that the major sperm cytoskeletal protein (MSP) is a bipartite signal for oocyte maturation and sheath contraction, and MSP also functions in sperm locomotion, playing a role analogous to actin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gld-1, a Tumor Suppressor Gene Required for Oocyte Development in Caenorhabditis Elegans

TL;DR: It is shown that gld-1(+) has an additional nonessential role in germline sex determination: promotion of hermaphrodite spermatogenesis and this function is inferred from a haplo-insufficient phenotype and from the properties of gain-of-function gll-1 mutations that cause alterations in the sexual identity of germ cells.
