Playing dirty: Sperm caught poisoning competitors to reach the egg first
Geneticists from the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics, in Berlin, have discovered a genetic variant in mice that allows sperm cells to poison their competitors before the race to the egg has even begun. The poisoning occurs while the individual sperm cells are in development and before they step up to the ‘starting line,’ so to speak, preventing them from accurately navigating their way to the egg.  “Imagine a marathon in which all the participants get poisoned drinking water, but some runners also take an antidote,” says institute director Bernhard Herrmann.
