excess intestinal cells

Animals contain an excess number of intestinal cells compared to control. In C. elegans, intestinal cells are derived from E-blastomere. The overproduction of intestinal tissues is a result of other blastomeres adopting an E-like fate or excess cell proliferation in the E lineage.

drug response variant

Any variation in the characteristic response(s) to drug(s) as defined by control animals.

E lineage variant

The descendants of the E blastomere exhibit altered developmental programs compared to their counterparts in control animals.

postembryonic behavior variant

Behavior characteristic of postembryonic stage(s) is altered compared to control.

no Intestine

Embryos fail to generate cells that exhibit intestinal specification. In C. elegans, the E blastomere is the precursor of all the intestinal cells.

developmental behavior variant

Any variation in the behavior characteristic during certain developmental stage(s) compared to control.

cell cycle arrest

Cells of the animals cease during one of its replicative phases (G1, S, G2, M).

epidermis muscle detached

The cell(s) whose principal function is to provide contractile forces, is separated from the adjacent epidermis.

axon length abnormal

The length of one or more axons is abnormal compared to the length of the corresponding axon(s) in control animals.

axon length reduced

The length of one or more axons is reduced compared to the length of the corresponding axon(s) in control animals.
