Abstract excerpt
We have devised a simple genetic mosaic screen, which circumvents the difficulties posed by phenotypic analysis of early lethal mutants, to analyze essential zygotic genes in Caenorhabditis elegans. The screen attempts to distinguish genes involved in cell type and/or lineage specific processes such as determination, differentiation or morphogenesis from genes involved in general processes such as intermediary...
