Abstract excerpt
The C. elegans hermaphrodite vulva serves as a paradigm for understanding how signaling pathways control organ formation. Previous studies have shown that Wnt signaling plays important roles in vulval development. To understand the function and evolution of Wnt signaling in Caenorhabditis nematod...
