Abstract excerpt
Evolutionary comparisons between Caenorhabditis elegans and the satellite organism Pristionchus pacificus revealed major differences in the regulation of nematode vulva development. For example, Wnt signaling is part of a negative signaling system that prevents vulva formation in P. pacificus, whereas it plays a positive role in C. elegans. We wondered if the genetic control of the second major part of the...
