Genetic analysis of the Caenorhabditis elegans pax-6 locus: roles of paired domain-containing and nonpaired domain-containing isoforms.
PAX-6 proteins are involved in eye and brain development in many animals. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans the pax-6 locus encodes multiple PAX-6 isoforms both with and without a paired domain. Mutations in the C. elegans pax-6 locus can be grouped into three classes. Mutations that affect paired domain-containing isoforms cause defects in epidermal morphogenesis, epidermal cell fates, an...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of defecation in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Defecation in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is achieved by a cyclical stereotyped motor program. The first step in each cycle is contraction of a set of posterior body muscles (pBoc), followed by contraction of a set of anterior body muscles (aBoc), and finally contraction of specialized anal muscles that open the anus and expel intestinal contents (Exp). By testing existing behavioral mu...
متن کاملGenetic and Molecular Analysis of a Caenorhabditis elegans
Benzimidazole anti-microtubule drugs, such as benomyl, induce paralysis and slow the growth of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. We have identified 28 mutations in C elegans that confer resistance to benzimidazoles. All resistant mutations map to a single locus, bend. Virtually all these mutations are genetically dominant. Molecular cloning and DNA sequence analysis established that bend enc...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of life-span in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Crosses between Bristol and Bergerac strains of the self-fertilizing hermaphroditic nematode Caenorhabditis elegans do not show the heterosis effects for life-span that complicate analysis of interstrain crosses with Drosophila or mice. Instead they yield F1 progeny with life-spans similar to those of the parent strains. By analysis of life-span variation among progeny F2 populations from such ...
متن کاملA global analysis of genetic interactions in Caenorhabditis elegans
BACKGROUND Understanding gene function and genetic relationships is fundamental to our efforts to better understand biological systems. Previous studies systematically describing genetic interactions on a global scale have either focused on core biological processes in protozoans or surveyed catastrophic interactions in metazoans. Here, we describe a reliable high-throughput approach capable of...
