Abstract excerpt
The differentiation of male specific sensory rays in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a complex process regulated by multiple genetic components. A novel approach with heat shock treatment was employed to show that multistep regulation is involved in this process. Intervention in this stepwise regulation resulted in phenocopy of specific gene mutations. The results suggest that differential gene function...
