X Abstract

Two sel-9 mutations were originally isolated as suppressors of a lin-12 hypomorphic allele (Sundaram and Greenwald, 1993), and we have isolated 6 additional alleles of sel-9 by a noncomplementation screen. We have examined the genetic interactions between sel-9 and lin-12 alleles. None of the alleles of sel-9 behave like sDf47, a deficiency of the locus(Hunter and Wood, 1992). These results indicate either that none of the sel-9 alleles are null alleles, or that the deficiency does not behave like a null allele (perhaps because it reduces the activity of another interacting gene). The complex genetics have made sel-9 difficult to clone, and we will present the status of our efforts at the meeting. sup-17 was identified by suppressors of lin-12(d) alleles (Ferguson and Horvitz, 1985; F. Tax, J. Thomas, E. Ferguson and H.R. Horvitz, 1997). We have been investigating interactions of sup-17 with lin-12 and glp-1 hypomorphs, and with other genes that interact with lin-12. We have also begun to try to isolate sup-17, beginning with a 180kb YAC clone that Mark Metzstein (personal communication) used to rescue sup-17 in the process of correlating the genetic and physical maps in the ces-1 region. We have used in vivo recombination in yeast to truncate this YAC clone, and have identified a 60 kb region that is able to rescue sup-17. We hope to have made additional progress towards cloning sup-17 by the meeting.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
