Abstract excerpt
The navigation of axons toward their targets is a highly dynamic and precisely regulated process during nervous system development. The molecular basis of this navigation process is only partly understood. In Caenorhabditis elegans, we isolated the RNAi-hypersensitive strain nre-1(hd20) lin-15b(hd126), which allows us to phenocopy axon guidance defects of known genes by feeding RNAi. We used this mutant strain to...
