- Public Gene Name
- him-5
- Sequence Name
- D1086.4
- WB ID
- WBGene00001864
- Description
- him-5 was identified in screens for genes that when mutated resulted in an increased frequency of X chromosome nondisjunction and thus, an increased frequency of genotypically XO males in self-fertile populations; him-5 functions in X chromosome dynamics by regulating the number and distribution of X chromosome pairing events; the molecular identity of him-5 is not yet known.
