Abstract excerpt
Genetic evidence suggests that the mei-1 locus of Caenorhabditis elegans encodes a maternal product required for female meiosis. However, a dominant gain-of-function allele, mei-1(ct46), can support normal meiosis but causes defects in subsequent mitotic spindles. Previously identified intragenic suppressors of ct46 lack functional mei-1 activity; null alleles suppress only in cis but other alleles arise...
