Histone methyltransferase MET-2 differentially regulates autosome and X-chromosome structure and transcription during meiosis in C. elegans

This study shows MET-2 differentially regulates autosome and X-chromosome structure and transcription in C. elegans meiosis, with noncatalytic roles in chromosome compaction and gene expression.

Oocyte surface proteins EGG-1 and EGG-2 are required for eggshell integrity in Caenorhabditis elegans

This study shows that EGG-1 and EGG-2 are not required for fertilization in C. elegans but are involved in post-fertilization processes like eggshell integrity and embryo protection.

A sperm-oocyte protein partnership required for egg activation in Caenorhabditis elegans

This study identifies a sperm-oocyte protein complex, SPE-11 and OOPS-1, essential for meiotic completion, polyspermy block, and eggshell formation in C. elegans.

TOP-2 is differentially required for the proper maintenance of cohesin on meiotic chromosomes in C. elegans spermatogenesis and oogenesis

This study investigates the sex-specific role of Topoisomerase II in sister chromatid cohesion release during meiosis in C. elegans, showing different requirements in spermatogenesis and oogenesis.
