Figure 1. Nature of the
rad-54L(
me139) mutation:A. Schematic of the
rad-54.L gene structure taken as a screenshot from WormBase WS285, indicating the position of the 102 nt deletion in the
me139 mutant. B. Sequence context of the
me139 deletion. UTR and intron sequences are indicated in lower case, exon sequences in upper case. The nucleotides deleted in the
me139 mutant are indicated by cyan highlighting, and potential cryptic splice donor sequences that could be used to generate modified proteins retaining key conserved protein domains are indicated as depicted on figure.
