forward kinker
Forward movement is often characterized by severe bending motions, more sharply angled and/or much deeper than stereotypical sinusoidal body bends of the control. Animal moves forward with uncharacteristic loss of smooth sinusoidal motion or body posture (Wormatlas).
backward kinker
Backward movement is often characterized by severe bending motions, more sharply angled and/or much deeper than stereotypical sinusoidal body bends of the control. Animal moves backward with uncharacteristic loss of smooth sinusoidal motion or body posture (Wormatlas).
kinker
The animal moves or rests with uncharacteristic loss of smooth sinusoidal motion or body posture. Movement is often characterized by severe bending motions, more sharply angled and/or much deeper than stereotypical sinusoidal body bends of the control animals.
male sex muscle morphology variant
Any variation in the form, structure or composition of the muscles of the adult male reproductive system compared to control. In C. elegans males, the M myoblast gives rise to a much larger set of specialized muscles, compared to hermaphrodites, which differentiate within the tail region (Wormatlas).
