Garriga G, Stern M J
Abstract excerpt
The analysis of mutations that disrupt egg laying by the Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodite has identified genes that are required for the long-range migrations of two cell types, the hermaphrodite-specific neurons and the sex myoblasts. Molecular analysis of some of these genes indicates that...
