- gene expression variant
Variations in the processes that convert a gene's sequence into a mature gene product or products (proteins or RNA), compared to control.
- protein RNA interaction variant
Variations in the selective and non-covalent physical association between a protein and a specific RNA sequence, compared to control.
- protein DNA interaction variant
Variations in the selective and non-covalent physical association between a protein and a specific DNA sequence, compared to control.
- no defecation cycle
Animals lack the stereotyped sequence of muscle contractions that result in defecation over a fixed time period compared to control.
- defecation cycle variant
Any variation in the stereotyped sequence of muscle contractions that result in defecation over a fixed time period compared to control .
- pharyngeal pumps brief
The time interval of the stereotyped sequence of muscle contractions by individual pharyngeal muscles that act to draw food into the pharynx is shorter compared to that observed in control (Wormatlas).
- telomere morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the sequence or organization of the components of the terminal region of its chromosome, (i.e. telomere, which serves to stabilize the chromosome) compared to control.
- chromatin accessibility abnormal
Animals exhibit cells with an abnormal degree of chromatin accessibility, compared to controls, detected using techniques such as ATAC-seq (Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing).
- defecation variant
Animals exhibit variations in the processes involved in eliminating gut contents compared to control animals. In C. elegans the sequence of events during defecation includes posterior body contraction (pBoc), relaxation, anterior body contraction (aBoc), expulsion of gut contents by enteric muscle contraction (Emc) and opening of anus (Exp), and intercycle period (Wormatlas).
