Oocytes from various species (including clam, starfish, xenopus and mouse) are excellent model systems to study the biochemistry of cell division with important implications for basic and clinical research.  \u003cp\u003eThis bookdescribes the entire process of oogenesis in chronological order with contributions from leading international researchers and chapters covering medical and ethical considerations in oogenic biology. Topics include sex determination and gonadal development, control of meiotic chromosome pairing and homologous recombination, control of meiotic divisions and the remodelling of the oocyte into a totipotent zygote as well as medically-assisted reproduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis volume is an esse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eList of Contributors.\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eForeword.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003e(Tim Hunt)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection I: Oocyte Determination.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The Sperm\/Oocyte Decision, a C. elegans Perspective (\u003ci\u003eRonald Ellis\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Sex Determination and Gonadal Development (\u003ci\u003eAlexander Combes, Cassy Spiller and Peter Koopman\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 : Clytia hemisphaerica: A Cnidarian Model for Studying Oogenesis (\u003ci\u003eAldine Amiel, Patrick Chang, Tsuyoshi Momose and Evelyn Houliston\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection II: Oocyte Growth.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Soma–Germline Interactions in the Ovary: an Evolutionary Perspective (\u003ci\u003eDavid Albertini and John Bromfield\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection III: Homologous Chromosome Pairing and Recombination.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Homologous Chromosome Pairing and Synapsis during Oogenesis (\u003ci\u003eSusanna Mlynarczyk-Evans and Anne Villeneuve\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Meiotic Recombination in Mammals (\u003ci\u003eSabine Santucci-Darmanin and Fre´de´ric Baudat\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSection IV: Meiosis Resumption.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Initiation of the Meiotic Prophase-to-Metaphase Transition in Mammalian Oocytes (\u003ci\u003eLaurinda A.
