Selective lineage specification by mab-19 during Caenorhabditis elegans male peripheral sense organ development.

Abstract excerpt

The action of the gene mab-19 is required for specification of a subset of Caenorhabditis elegans male peripheral sense organ (ray) lineages. Two mab-19 alleles, isolated in screens for ray developmental mutations, resulted in males that lacked the three most posterior rays. Cell lineage alterati...
