Abstract excerpt
The lin-12/Notch signaling pathway is conserved from worms to humans and is a master regulator of metazoan development. Here, we demonstrate that lin-12/Notch gain-of-function (gf) animals display precocious alae at the L4 larval stage with a significant increase in let-7 expression levels. Furthermore, lin-12(gf) animals display a precocious and higher level of let-7 gfp transgene expression in seam cells at L3...
