hyl-2(
tm2031) animals exhibited hypersensitivity to 2 days of anoxia exposure, compared to wild type (N2) worms, but
daf-2(
e1370) animals exhibited resistance to anoxia even after 3 days of exposure (Figure 4B).
daf-2(
e1370);
hyl-2(
tm2031) double mutants are resistant to anoxia exposure similar to
daf-2(
e1370) alone, suggesting that
daf-2(
e1370) is epistatic to
hyl-2(
tm2031) with respect to response to 2 days of anoxia exposure.
