Distinct mechanisms eliminate mother and daughter centrioles in meiosis of starfish oocytes

Centriole elimination is an essential process that occurs in female meiosis of metazoa to reset centriole number in the zygote at fertilization. How centrioles are eliminated remains poorly understood. Here we visualize the entire elimination process live in starfish oocytes. Using specific fluoresc...
