High impact information on wrm-1

  • Genetic experiments confirmed that one gene (JC8.6) identified by the gene recommender acts with lin-35 Rb to regulate vulval cell fates, and that another gene (wrm-1) acts antagonistically [1].
  • Two other Wnt pathway regulators, wrm-1 and lit-1, have the same effect as pop-1 on Z1/Z4 asymmetry [2].
  • Therefore, wrm-1 and lit-1 are required for pop-1 function, rather than opposing it as observed in the early embryo [2].
