"In
ham-1 mutants, the HSN/PHB neuroblast divides symmetrically, inappropriately generating two HSN/PHB precursor cells, and subsequently, extra HSN and PHB neurons. This phenotype can be seen using
srb6::gfp, where PHB neuron duplications generate extra GFP-expressing phasmid neurons about 25% of the time in
ham-1 mutants (Table 1). In
ham-1 ced-3 double mutants, the phenotype is more striking (Table 1)."
