Genetic analysis of defecation in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Genetics - 1 Apr 1990

Thomas J H

Abstract excerpt

Defecation in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is achieved by a cyclical stereotyped motor program. The first step in each cycle is contraction of a set of posterior body muscles (pBoc), followed by contraction of a set of anterior body muscles (aBoc), and finally contraction of specialized anal muscles that open the anus and expel intestinal contents (Exp). By testing existing behavioral mutants and screening...
