Abstract excerpt
Different mutations in the sqt-1 and rol-6 collagen genes of Caenorhabditis elegans can cause diverse changes in body morphology and display different genetic attributes. We have determined the nucleotide alterations in 15 mutant alleles of these genes. Three mutations in sqt-1 and one in rol-6 that cause dominant right-handed helical twisting (RRol) of animals are arginine to cysteine replacements. These...
