Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In the C. elegans germ line, syncytial germ line nuclei are arranged at the cortex of the germ line as they exit mitosis and enter meiosis, forming a nucleus-free core of germ line cytoplasm called the rachis. Molecular mechanisms of rachis formation and germ line organization are not well understood. RESULTS: Mutations in the fli-1 gene disrupt rachis organization without affecting meiotic...
