rsp-5 encodes, along with rsp-4, one of two C. elegans orthologs of the vertebrate SC35 splicing factor and member of the SR protein family of nuclear phosphoproteins that are required for constitutive splicing and influence alternative splicing regulation.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
