Abstract

Anteroposterior asymmetries are apparent in C. elegans development before the first cell division. Here we identify the cue that specifies the anteroposterior axis, and investigate how this cue is interpreted to generate initial asymmetry. In C. elegans, the sperm normally enters the egg in an invariant position. We have found that causing fertilisation to occur in the abnormal end of the egg completely reverses the orientation of the anteroposterior axis, but gives otherwise normal development. This result suggests that a component of the sperm normally specifies the anteroposterior axis. We have found that a cytoplasmic rearrangement in the uncleaved zygote is directed by the sperm, suggesting a mechanism by which the sperm may specify the axis. The results additionally reveal that the C. elegans oocyte is constructed with no axis prespecified in the form of asymmetrically localised cytoplasmic determinants.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
