jj278 deletion. 1B. Results of body size measurement.
jj278 worms are small.
e729 is the canonical allele of
sma-4 and was used as a control. Body size measurements were conducted as previously described (TIAN et al. 2013). Hermaphrodite worms were imaged at the L4.1 stage based on vulva development (MOK et al. 2105), Body lengths were measured from the images using the Segmented Line tool of Fiji. Statistical analysis was carried out using Student's t test. The mean body length of N2 worms is normalized to 100 percent. Error bars represent 95 percent confidence intervals for the normalized body length. The numbers inside each bar represent the numbers of animals measured for the specific genotype. *** P<0.0001.
