Abstract excerpt
Neuronal identity is established and maintained by "terminal-selector" transcription factors, yet how these networks evolve remains unclear. We examined the specification of the chemosensory ASE and thermosensory AFD neurons in the nematode Pristionchus pacificus, a species that expresses the terminal-selector, Ppa-CHE-1, in both sensory neurons. To determine if the ASE neurons exhibit left-right laterality, we...
