Abstract excerpt
We present a two-part system for conditional FLP-out of FRT-flanked sequences in Caenorhabditis elegans to control gene activity in a spatially and/or temporally regulated manner. Using reporters, we assess the system for efficacy and demonstrate its use as a cell lineage marking tool. In addition, we construct and test a dominant-negative form of hlh-12, a gene that encodes a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)...
