Oogenesis and germinal bed morphology of the brown anole (<i>A. sagrei</i>).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The brown anole is a model species of the genus Anolis, a squamate (encompassing lizards and snakes) group widely studied in evolutionary, behavioral, and developmental biology. Full genome annotation, the establishment of gene editing techniques, and comprehensive description of reproductive tract morphology and embryogenesis in this species, has laid the foundation for functional studies. However, analysis of brown anole oogenesis is still required and vital to optimize genome modification, mutant line establishment, and analyses of the evolution of reproductive developmental mechanisms.

Results

Here, we characterize ovary morphology and gametogenesis in the female brown anole, A. sagrei using brightfield imaging, microCT, histology staining, elect
