title: The EGL-13 SOX domain transcription factor affects the uterine pi cell lineages in Caenorhabditis elegans.
abstract: We isolated egl-13 mutants in which the pi cells of the Caenorhabditis elegans uterus initially appeared to develop normally but then underwent an extra round of cell division. The data suggest that egl-13 is required for maintenance of the pi cell fate.
