dhs-14 encodes a short chain-type of alcohol/other dehydrogenase, more similar to 18 paralogs in C. elegans than to any non-worm protein; it is dispensable for viability and gross morphology in mass RNAi screens.
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.
