Abstract excerpt
Heterochronic genes are known for acting in succession to control the timing of stage-specific events of the developing Caenorhabditis elegans larva. While most heterochronic mutants have normal gonad development, in a few cases, defective timing regulators lead to variations in gonad development, although with little to no effect on fertility. We found that a double mutant of 2 heterochronic genes, a lin-28 null...
