Abstract excerpt
The vulval precursor cells (VPCs) are spatially patterned by a LET-23/EGF receptor-mediated inductive signal and a LIN-12/Notch-mediated lateral signal. The lateral signal has eluded identification, so the mechanism by which lateral signaling is activated has not been known. Here, we computationally identify ten genes that encode potential ligands for LIN-12, and show that three of these genes, apx-1, dsl-1, and...
