Abstract excerpt
Sexual development in Dictyostelium discoideum is initiated by the fusion of opposite mating type cells to form zygote giant cells, which subsequently gather and phagocytose surrounding cells for nutrition to form macrocysts. Here we performed the targeting of 24 highly gamete-enriched genes we previously isolated, and successfully generated knockout mutants for 16 genes and RNAi mutants for 20 genes including 6...
