RB901 C. elegans nex-2(ok764) I. Show Description
T07C4.9 Homozygous. Outer Left Sequence: TGATTCATCGAAGGTCACCA. Outer Right Sequence: AAGGCAGCAGAAGCAGTAGC. Inner Left Sequence: AAGGCAGCAGAAGCAGTAGC. Inner Right Sequence: GATGGCCGTGATCTACCAGT. Inner Primer PCR Length: 3043. Estimated Deletion Size: about 500 bp. Update added 2/04: Work completed by Arseni Markoff: Deletion is 404 bp, starts at genomic position 2874 (+/- AATA) from atg (+1) of the gene and ends 3277 +/-4. Thus it begins 18 +/-4 bp from the end of exon 4 and lies entirely in intron 4 of the gene (I-4 is 927 bp). I checked if a possible branching site in the intron should be affected by this deletion, but it seems not to be the case. Our conclusion is that the deletion represents a non-functional mutation.
