Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oocyte maturation is an important prerequisite for the production of progeny. Although several germ-line mutations have been reported, the precise mechanism by which the last step of oocyte maturation is controlled remains unclear. In Caenorhabditis elegans, CCCH-type zinc-finger proteins have been shown to be involved in germ cell formation, although their involvement in oocyte maturation has not...
