The paper characterizes the sexually dimorphic and dynamic structure of germ granules in C. elegans during meiotic prophase I, identifying sex-specific localization of PGL-1, ZNFX-1, and WAGO-4.

This study identifies sex-specific roles of WAGO-1, an Argonaute protein, in C. elegans germ granule structure and gametogenesis through structural and functional analysis.

This study shows that the prion [BIG+] in yeast increases proliferation but reduces lifespan by altering protein synthesis and translational programs.
