Abstract excerpt
In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, mutants in osm-3 gene are known to be defective in osmotic avoidance, chemotaxis and dauer formation behaviours. To study the molecular basis of these pleiotropic defects we have cloned the osm-3 gene by germline transformation of osm-3 (p802) mutants through microinjection of the wild type genomic DNA. Northern analysis reveals a 3.0 kb transcript corresponding to osm-3....
