Abstract excerpt
The tapered sensory rays of the male Caenorhabditis elegans are important for successful male/hermaphrodite copulation. A group of ram (ray morphology abnormal) genes encoding modifying enzymes and transmembrane protein have been reported as key regulators controlling ray morphogenesis. Here we report the characterization of another component essential for this morphogenetic process encoded by mab-7. This gene is...
