Abstract excerpt
Cells in the mid-body region of the nematode C. elegans develop differently from their anterior or posterior homologs. The gene lin-39 is required for mid-body region-specific development. In lin-39 mutants, mid-body cells express fates characteristic of more anterior or posterior homologs, and t...
