- rays missing
Any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan are absent.
- transposon mutator
Animals exhibit an increase in frequency of transposition events (DNA movement to different positions within the genome of a single cell) causing an accumulation of lesions within the genome, compared to control.
- extra rays
Animals exhibit an extra number of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan.
- rays fused
Any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan are joined to one another.
- ray tips swollen
The extreme ends of any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan appear bloated or distended.
- rays displaced
Any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan are shifted from their customary place.
- G tract instability
Animals exhibit an increase in the rate of deletion events in mono-G or G-rich tracts within the genome compared to control.
- male tail sensory ray development variant
Any variation in the progression of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan from its formation to the mature structure when compared to control animals.
- male ray morphology variant
Animals exhibit variations in the structure or organization of any of the finger-like sensory sensilla that project from the tail and embed in the male fan compared to control animals. In C. elegans, nine bilateral rays project from the tail in a radial pattern with a smooth and slightly tapered appearance. Although one neuronal member of each ray sensillum is exposed to the outside, male rays rarely take up dye.
