- CAN cell migration variant
Variation in the migration pattern of CAN neurons. In C. elegans, CAN neurons move posteriorly from their birthplace in the head to positions near the middle of the embryo.
- lysosomal refractile body accumulation
Lysosomal refractile bodies are apoptotic-like cell corpse; however, they differ in size and shape and can be described as resembling irregular cell corpses. These bodies have been shown to represent enlarged lysosomes and can occur in conjunction with altered programmed cell death programs.
- hermaphrodite self sterile
Hermaphrodites fail to produce any viable progeny via self-fertilization. However, such hermaphrodites can successfully reproduce if mated to control males.
- galactose metabolism variant
Animals process dietary galactose differently than control animals, these differences can result in increased and or decreased levels of intermediary galactose metabolites.
- epidermal shedding
Animals shed fragments of epidermis into the surrounding environment, unlike controls. In embryos, these fragments can be seen in the extra-embryonic space.
- fat associated body size decreased
Animals exhibit a decrease in the size of fat containing organelles compared to control. In C. elegans this can be assayed by BODIPY 493/503 staining.
- fat associated body size increased
Animals exhibit an increase in the size of fat containing organelles compared to control. In C. elegans this can be assayed by BODIPY 493/503 staining.
- dsRNA processing defective
The production of silencing RNA from dsRNA is significantly deficient compared to controls. Deficiencies in this process can result in a defective RNAi response compared to controls.
