Abstract excerpt
We have identified and cloned the Caenorhabditis elegans dpy-2 and dpy-10 genes and determined that they encode collagens. Genetic data suggested that these genes are important in morphogenesis and possibly other developmental events. These data include the morphologic phenotypes exhibited by mut...
