Genes required for the common miracle of fertilization in Caenorhabditis elegans.

The International journal of developmental biology - 1 Jan 2008

Singson Andrew, Hang Julie S, Parry Jean M

Abstract excerpt

Fertilization involves multiple layers of sperm-egg interactions that lead to gamete fusion and egg activation. There must be specific molecules required for these interactions. The challenge is to determine the identity of the genes encoding these molecules and how their protein products function. The nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans has emerged as an efficient model system for gene discovery and...
