derepression of heterchromatic gene silencing

Genes normally silenced within heterochromatin are abnoramally de-repressed and exhibit expression, unlike controls.

microtubule nucleation variant

Any variation that alters the characteristic de novo formation of a microtubule compared to control.

lipid synthesis defective

The de novo synthesis of any lipid species is reduced compared to that observed in control animals.

feminization of XX and XO animals

Both hermaphrodites and males develop into fertile females.

microtubule depolymerization variant

Any variation that alters the characteristic removal of tubulin heterodimers from one or both ends of a microtubule compared to control.

microtubule polymerization variant

Any variation that alters the characteristic addition of tubulin heterodimers to one or both ends of a microtubule compared to control.

missing gonad arms

Animals are missing one or both gonad arms, the normally U-shaped projections of the gonad that extend into the anterior or posterior of the animal and bends back towards the center of the animal.

excretory canal short

The structure made by the processes of the excretory canal cell is reduced in size compared to control. In C. elegans this is an H-shaped structure which extends almost the full length of the body on both sides of the animal, generally in contact with the lateral hypodermis and the pseudocoelom (Wormatlas).

excretory canals long

The structure made by the processes of the excretory canal cell is increased in size compared to control. In C. elegans this is an H-shaped structure which extends almost the full length of the body on both sides of the animal, generally in contact with the lateral hypodermis and the pseudocoelom (Wormatlas).
