General Information
Term nematode male tail tip morphogenesis ID (Ontology) GO:0045138 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The process in which the anatomical structure of the adult male tail tip is generated and organized. In some species of rhabitid nematodes, the male tail tip undergoes a morphological change such that the most posterior hypodermal cells in the tail (hyp8-11 in C. elegans) fuse and retract anteriorly, changing the shape of the tail from a pointed, tapered cone, or spike, to a rounded, blunt dome.[ PubMed:16806150 PubMed:18050419 PubMed:21408209 PubMed:7409314 ]
