Three new classes of mutations in the Caenorhabditis elegans muscle gene sup-9.

Genetics - 1 Sept 1993

Abstract excerpt

We are studying five interacting genes involved in the regulation or coordination of muscle contraction in Caenorhabditis elegans. A distinctive "rubber-band" muscle-defective phenotype was previously shown to result from rare altered-function mutations in either of two of these genes, unc-93 and...
