Abstract excerpt
Germ cells are set aside during early development and, in many organisms (including Drosophila melanogaster, Caenorhabditis elegans and Xenopus laevis), they form in a unique cytoplasm, termed the germ plasm. The germ plasm is synthesized during oogenesis, and the initial polarization of the oocyte is likely to determine where the germ plasm will form within the egg cell. Although we do not know how the fate of...
