Abstract excerpt
Three known genes guide circumferential migrations of pioneer axons and mesodermal cells on the nematode body wall. unc-5 affects dorsal migrations, unc-40 primarily affects ventral migrations, and unc-6 affects migrations in both directions. Circumferential movements still occur, but are misdirected whereas longitudinal movements are normal in these mutants. Pioneer growth cones migrating directly on the...
