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)...
