Analysis of the C. elegans Germline Stem Cell Region

  • Protocol
Germline Stem Cells

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology™ ((MIMB,volume 450))

Summary

We present methods for characterizing the mitotic and early meiotic regions of the Caenorhabditis elegans germline. The methods include examination of germlines in living and fixed worms, cell cycle analysis, analysis of markers, and initial characterization of mutants that affect germline proliferation.
