NUC-1, a Caenorhabditis elegans DNase II homolog, functions in an intermediate step of DNA degradation during apoptosis
Article Abstract:
NUC-1 is a Caenorhabditis elegans DNase II homolog that acts in an intermediate step of DNA degradation in apoptosis. The C. elegans gene, nuc-1, was cloned and TUNEL technique was used to measure DNA degradation in nuc-1 and other mutants in which apoptosis is defective.

Nuclear reorganization and homologous chromosome pairing during meiotic prophase require C. elegans chk-2
Article Abstract:
Meiotic prophase nuclear reorganization and homologous chromosome pairing have been found, during analysis of a gene defined by pairing-defective mutants, to require Caenorhabditis elegans chk-2. A first molecular link between two landmark meiotic events has been found.
