Genomic function during the lampbrush chromosome stage of amphibian oogenesis

Abstract

Throughout its lengthy developmental history the disposition of the genetic material in the amphibian oocyte nucleus differs from that in other cell types. The chromosomes in the oocyte nucleus, arrested for the whole of oogenesis at the prophase of the first meiotic division, are known to contain at least the tetraploid amount of DNA.(1,2) Oogenesis in amphibia requires months or even years to complete, depending on the species.
