- defecation contraction variant
Any variation in the stereotyped muscle contractions that result in defecation compared to control . In C. elegans these contractions include posterior body contraction (pBoc), anterior body contraction (aBoc), expulsion of gut contents by enteric muscle contraction (Emc) and opening of anus (Exp).
- defecation missing motor steps
Animals lack one or more of the stereotyped muscle contractions that result in defecation compared to control. In C. elegans these contractions include posterior body contraction (pBoc), anterior body contraction (aBoc), expulsion of gut contents by enteric muscle contraction (Emc) and opening of anus (Exp).
- 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).
- diplo X gamete
Animals produce ova/sperm that contain 2 X chromosomes.
- octopamine metabolism variant
Animals exhibit variations in any chemical reaction or pathway involving octopamine, 1-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-aminoethanol, compared to control.
- three fold arrest
Cessation of development that normally occurs in C. elegans 520-620min after the first cleavage at 20C, the stage between the 2-fold and fully elongated embryo.
- one point five fold arrest emb
Cessation of development that normally occurs in C. elegans 420-460 min after the first embryonic cleavage at 20C, the stage between the comma and 2-fold embryo.
- EdU incorporation reduced
Cells display reduced incorporation of the thymidine analogue 5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU), suggesting reduced cell proliferation. Incorporation of EdU is an indication of active DNA synthesis and thus an indication of cells proceeding through the cell cycle.
- DAPI staining variant
Animals exhibit variations in the pattern of a chemical nuclear stain which is commonly used in fixed specimens and produces a bright blue label, compared to control. DAPI (4'-6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole) forms fluorescent complexes with natural double-stranded DNA (Wormatlas).
