Abstract excerpt
The bli-4 (I) gene of Caenorhabditis elegans had been previously defined by a single recessive mutation, e937, which disrupts the structure of adult-stage cuticle causing the formation of fluid-filled separations of the cuticle layers, or blisters. We report the identification of 11 new alleles of bli-4, all early larval lethals, including an allele induced by transposon mutagenesis. Nine of the lethal alleles...
