Caenorhabditis elegans aristaless/Arx gene alr-1 restricts variable gene expression
Variable expressivity of mutant phenotypes in genetically identical individuals is a phenomenon widely reported but poorly understood. For example, mutations in the gene encoding the transcription factor ALR-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans result in variable touch receptor neuron (TRN) function. Using s...
