Abstract excerpt
Essential genes were identified in the 1.5-map unit dpy-5 unc-13 region of chromosome I in the Caenorhabditis elegans genome by rescuing lethal mutations using the duplication sDp2. In this paper, we report the mapping and complementation testing of lethal mutations, 45 of which identify 18 new, essential genes. This analysis brings the number of essential genes defined by the sDp2 rescue of lethal mutants to 97;...
