- basement membrane remodeling variant
Animals display variations in the manner in which the basement membrane (a thin, dense, sheet-like structure built on a network of polymeric laminin and type IV collagen) is remodeled, compared to control animals.
- basement membrane gap expansion variant
Animals display variations in the manner in which an opening in the basement membrane (a thin, dense, sheet-like structure built on a network of polymeric laminin and type IV collagen) expands to make way for intertissue connections, compared to control animals.
- 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).
