What's a GeneRIF?

This suggests that normal adult intestine function requires robust embryonic activation of end-1,3 by MED-1,2.
Title: MED GATA factors promote robust development of the C. elegans endoderm.
no evidence for any significant maternal med-1/2 effect, after re-examination
Title: Neither maternal nor zygotic med-1/med-2 genes play a major role in specifying the Caenorhabditis elegans endoderm.
med transcripts accumulate both in the EMS cell and in the maternal germline in a SKN-1-dependent manner
Title: Maternal deployment of the embryonic SKN-1-->MED-1,2 cell specification pathway in C. elegans.
The major pathway(s) for endoderm specification in C. elegans must be independent of the med-1 and med-2 genes.
Title: Reevaluation of the role of the med-1 and med-2 genes in specifying the Caenorhabditis elegans endoderm.
The C blastomere in the oma-1 (zu405) mutant expresses a high level of this protein.
Title: A gain-of-function mutation in oma-1, a C. elegans gene required for oocyte maturation, results in delayed degradation of maternal proteins and embryonic lethality.
