W07E6.2 encodes an ortholog of S. cerevisiae RSA4 that may suppress tumorous growth in the germ line by ensuring robust larval germline proliferation; like PRO-1, -2, and -3, W07E6.2 is probably required for ribosome biogenesis, suggesting a link between biogenesis in the distal sheath and control of cell division in the germ line.
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.
