Abstract excerpt

Mutations in the unc-52 locus of Caenorhabditis elegans have been classified into three different groups based on their complex pattern of complementation. These mutations result in progressive paralysis (class 1 mutations) or in lethality (class 2 and 3 mutations). The paralysis exhibited by ani...
