Abstract excerpt
In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the maternal effect lethal gene mel-32 encodes a serine hydroxymethyltransferase isoform. Since interspecies DNA comparison is a valuable tool for identifying sequences that have been conserved because of their functional importance or role in regulating gene activity, mel-32(SHMT) genomic DNA from C. elegans was used to screen a genomic library from the closely related...
