✦ Synopsis

A uniform system of genetic nomenclature for the nematode Caenorhabditis eIegans is described.

Convenient ways are specified to designate genes, mutations and strains, and to attempt to avoid name duplications.

An extensive genetic characterization of the small soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans was reported by Brenner in 1974. Continued genetic interest in this organism seems likely; at present, twenty-three laboratories are engaged in genetic studies of C. elegans

The mutation him-6 (e1423) leads to generalized chromosomal nondisjunction during meiosis in oogenesis and spermatogenesis of C. elegans. As a result, gametes nullisomic or disomic for each of the six chromosomes occur at appreciable frequency. Crosses utilizing marked him-6 strains were used to gen
