Genetic dissection of mechanosensory transduction: mechanoreception-defective mutations of Drosophila.
Neuron - 1 Jun 1994
Kernan M, Cowan D, Zuker C
Abstract excerpt
To identify genes involved in mechanotransduction, Drosophila larvae were screened for X-linked mutations affecting a behavioral response to touch. Many mutations that caused nondevelopmental defects were recovered, among them multiple alleles of the genes uncoordinated (unc) and uncoordinated-li...
