The C. elegans ALP/Enigma gene is called alp-1

Posted by C_McKeown on 03 Mar 2007 at 01:57 GMT


This paper incorrectly identifies the C. elegans ALP/Enigma as eat-1. It is NOT eat-1. The C. elegans ALP/Enigma was published as alp-1 (see reference 50). The eat-1 gene has not been cloned and maps to a different genetic locus from alp-1. The alp-1 gene encodes the C. elegans ALP/Enigma. Please keep this in mind, the nomenclature for the C. elegans gene is completely wrong in this manuscript.
