    Hodgkin JA (1988). informational suppression by male-abnormal mutations: new names, new data. Worm Breeder's Gazette, 10(3), 137. Unpublished information; cite only with author permission.

    As previously reported (WBG 10-1: 112, 10-2: 30, etc.) mutations at six different loci act as allele-specific suppressors of mutations in a variety of genes: tra-2, unc-54, etc. These mutations also have characteristic morphological effects on the anatomy of the adult male tail and, to a lesser extent, of the hermaphrodite vulva. For this reason they have hitherto been assigned to the mab (male abnormal) gene category: mab-1, ed) and mab-12 through mab-16 (unpublished). However, they exhibit such a distinctive set of common properties that it has been decided (with the agreement of Andy Papp, Victor Ambros, Rock Pulak and Phil Anderson, who have been responsible for isolating most of these suppressor mutations) to assign them to a new gene
