Sex change by gene conversion in a Caenorhabditis elegans fog-2 mutant.

Vaishali Katju1, Elisa M LaBeau, Kendra J Lipinski, Ulfar Bergthorsson.   

Abstract

Caenorhabditis elegans primarily reproduces as a hermaphrodite. Independent gene conversion events in mutant obligately outcrossing populations of C. elegans [fog-2(lf)] spontaneously repaired the loss-of-function mutation in the fog-2 locus, thereby reestablishing hermaphroditism as the primary means of reproduction for the populations.
