Abstract excerpt
Collagens are a family of proteins contributing to the body structure of eukaryotes. They are encoded by a large and diverse gene family in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans but by only a few genes in vertebrates. We have studied mutant alleles of the C. elegans dpy-7 gene, one of a large group of genes whose mutant phenotype is altered body form and several of which have previously been shown to encode...
