...Bhagwati P. Gupta; Minqin Wang; Paul W. Sternberg LIM homeobox family members regulate a variety of cell fate choices during animal development. In C. elegans , mutations in the LIM homeobox gene lin-11 have previously been shown to alter the cell division pattern of a subset of the 2° lineage...

... hormone receptor gene odr-7 are required to confer AWB and AWA-specific characteristics respectively, and to repress an AWC olfactory neuron-like default fate. Here, we show that AWA neuron fate is also regulated by a member of the LIM homeobox gene family, lin-11 . lin-11 regulates AWA olfactory neuron...
