Abstract
The properties of a small internal deletion mutant, E675, have been exploited in the molecular cloning of the unc-54 gene. This mutation uniquely identifies unc-54 sequences as molecules of altered length in E675 and provides a genetic and physical marker for the active gene, its messenger RNA and its protein product.Keywords
