Abstract excerpt
The subject of this study is the organization of essential genes in the 2 map-unit unc-22 IV region of the Caenorhabditis elegans genome. With the goal of achieving mutational saturation of essential genes in this region, 6491 chromosomes mutagenized with ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) were screened for the presence of lethal mutations in the unc-22 region. The genetic analysis of 21 lethal mutations in the unc-22...
