Abstract excerpt
SUMMARY Caenorhabditis elegans possesses two Notch-like receptors, LIN-12 and GLP-1, which have both overlapping and individual biological functions. We examined the lin-12 and glp-1 genes in closely related nematodes to learn about their evolution. Here we report molecular and functional analyses of lin-12 orthologs from two related nematodes, C. briggsae (Cb) and C. remanei (Cr). In addition, we compare these...
