COMP-1 promotes competitive advantage of nematode sperm.

eLife - 19 Mar 2015

Hansen Jody M, Chavez Daniela R, Stanfield Gillian M

Abstract excerpt

Competition among sperm to fertilize oocytes is a ubiquitous feature of sexual reproduction as well as a profoundly important aspect of sexual selection. However, little is known about the cellular mechanisms sperm use to gain competitive advantage or how these mechanisms are regulated genetically. In this study, we utilize a forward genetic screen in Caenorhabditis elegans to identify a gene, comp-1, whose...
