PublicationsExtensive unpublished observations on a now-extinct sister clone, reviewed in Frankel J. 2008. What do genic mutations tell us about the structural patterning of a complex single-celled organism? Eukaryot Cell 7(10):1617-39, see p. 1634.
CommentsThe sister clone (IA436,now extinct) manifests joint expression of the two mutations, which can be roughly summarized as the "...janus phenotype being superimposed on the hypoangular body plan".
