- X cluster small RNA expression variant
Animals exhibit variations from controls in the expression, biogenesis, processing, or stability of the small X-chromosome derived RNAs (X cluster) species of small RNA.
- small RNA germline expression variant
Animals exhibit variations from controls in the expression, biogenesis, processing, or stability of any class of small RNA species in the germline. Small RNAs include microRNAs (miRNAs), tiny noncoding RNAs (tncRNAs), cluster of small X-chromosome derived RNAs (X cluster), and endogenous short interfering RNA (endo-siRNAs).
- small RNA somatic expression variant
Animals exhibit variations from controls in the expression, biogenesis, processing, or stability of any class of small RNA species in somatic cells. Small RNAs include microRNAs (miRNAs), tiny noncoding RNAs (tncRNAs), cluster of small X-chromosome derived RNAs (X cluster), and endogenous short interfering RNA (endo-siRNAs).
- gonad vesiculated
Animals contain small, fluid-filled, anucleate, spherical membrane-bound structures within the gonad.
- endo siRNA binding variant
Animals exhibit variations in their selective interactions with small interfering RNA molecules compared to control.
- synaptic vesicle endocytosis variant
Variations in the uptake of a small membrane-bound organelle, filled with neurotransmitter(s) and/or neuropeptides, by the invagination of small region of the plasma membrane to form a new membrane-bounded vesicle compared to control(Wormatlas).
- no polar body formation
Animals lack the two small cells produced, each during one of the two meiotic cell divisions (Wormatlas).
- rudimentary gonad
Animals have very few or no germline nuclei and gonad arms that are very small or missing.
- alae absent
Animals lack the small linear ridges running along the lateral lines of the cuticle, lengthwise along the body (Wormatlas).
