Genes relevant to gametogenesis can be easily recognized in C. elegans by phenotypic analysis of their loss-of-function. We have previously screened and identified a set of genes that apparently have germline-related functions, through either RNAi or gene knockout assay. Here we report preliminary characterization of the mutant worms deficient in some of these genes, including F30A10.10, K09A9.4, and
rnp-1.
