1 Lecture 10 Types of lineage mutants Lateral inhibition in C. elegans Induction in C. elegans

2 Mutant names and origins Most isolated in general mutant screens unc Uncoordinated dpy Dumpy short and fat lin lineage abnormal egl egg laying let lethal

3 Mutant names and origins Phenotypic class ie screen isolated in Complementation group unc-93 (e1400) allele lin-22(n372)

4 Cell lineage mutants Canonical cell lineage Stem cell like mutant lineages Homeotic mutant lineages Heterochronic mutant lineages

5 Canonical cell lineage Horvitz The Nematode C. elegans 1988

6 Canonical cell lineage A BC Horvitz The Nematode C. elegans 1988

7 Canonical cell mutant lineages A BC A BA A BB wild-type

8 Canonical cell mutant lineages A BC A BA A BB wild-type Regeneration of the mother cell fate: stem cell like

9 Stem cell like mutant lineages Horvitz The Nematode C. elegans 1988

10 Canonical cell mutant lineages A BC A BA A BB wild-type Sisters have the same fate: homeotic

11 Homeotic transformation The transformation of one body part into the likeness of another

12 Antennapedia can be misexpressed either by spontaneous mutation or by genetic engineering. Antenna to second leg transformation hsp Antpry +
