Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the unc-39 gene of C. elegans lead to migration and differentiation defects in a subset of mesodermal and ectodermal cells, including muscles and neurons. Defects include mesodermal specification and differentiation as well a neuronal migration and axon pathfinding defects. Molecular analysis revealed that unc-39 corresponds to the previously named gene ceh-35 and that the UNC-39 protein belongs to...
