Abstract excerpt
The lin-12 gene of Caenorhabditis elegans is thought to encode a receptor for intercellular signals that specify certain cell fates during development. We describe several alleles of lin-12 that reduce but do not eliminate lin-12 activity (hypomorphic alleles). These alleles cause a novel egg-laying defective (Egl) phenotype in hermaphrodites as well as incompletely penetrant cell fate transformations seen with...
