GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. DIG-1 functions post-developmentally to maintain axons and cell bodies in place within axonal fascicles and ganglia.
    Title: DIG-1, a novel giant protein, non-autonomously mediates maintenance of nervous system architecture.
  2. Mutant phenotypes suggest that DIG-1 may mediate cell movement as well as process fasciculation and that different regions of the protein may mediate these functions.
