Targeted metabolomics reveals a male pheromone and sex-specific ascaroside biosynthesis in C. elegans

In the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, a class of small molecule signals called ascarosides regulate development, mating and social behaviors. Ascaroside production has been studied in the predominant sex, the hermaphrodite, but not in males, which account for less than 1% of wild-type worms...
