title: The major gut esterase locus in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
abstract: Mutations in the major gut esterase of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans have been induced by ethylmethane sulfonate and detected by isoelectric focusing. The gut esterase locus, denoted ges-1, maps less than 0.3 map units to the right of the unc-60 locus, at the left end of chromosome V.
