Identification of Caenorhabditis elegans genes required for neuronal differentiation and migration.

Abstract excerpt

To understand the mechanisms that guide migrating cells, we have been studying the embryonic migrations of the C. elegans canal-associated neurons (CANs). Here, we describe two screens used to identify genes involved in CAN migration. First, we screened for mutants that died as clear larvae (Clr) or had withered tails (Wit), phenotypes displayed by animals lacking normal CAN function. Second, we screened directly...
