Quantifying Phenotypic Variation in Isogenic Caenorhabditis elegans Expressing Phsp-16.2::gfp by Clustering 2D Expression Patterns
Isogenic populations of animals still show a surprisingly large amount of phenotypic variation between individuals. Using a GFP reporter that has been shown to predict longevity and resistance to stress in isogenic populations of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, we examined residual variation in expression of this GFP reporter. We found that when we separated the populations into brightest ...
متن کاملMaternal control of a zygotic patterning gene in Caenorhabditis elegans.
The transition from maternal to zygotic gene control is a key process in embryogenesis. Although many maternal effect genes have been studied in the C. elegans embryo, how their activities lead to the positional expression of zygotic patterning genes has not yet been established. Evidence is presented showing that expression of the zygotic patterning gene vab-7 does not depend on cell position ...
متن کاملQuantWorm: A Comprehensive Software Package for Caenorhabditis elegans Phenotypic Assays
Phenotypic assays are crucial in genetics; however, traditional methods that rely on human observation are unsuitable for quantitative, large-scale experiments. Furthermore, there is an increasing need for comprehensive analyses of multiple phenotypes to provide multidimensional information. Here we developed an automated, high-throughput computer imaging system for quantifying multiple Caenorh...
متن کاملGenetic and Phenotypic Characterization of Roller Mutants of CAENORHABDITIS ELEGANS.
Eighty-eight mutants of C. elegans that display a roller phenotype (a helically twisted body) have been isolated and characterized genetically and phenotypically. The mutations are located in 14 different genes. Most genes contain a number of alleles. Their distribution among the chromosomes appears nonrandom, with seven of the genes being located on linkage group II, some very closely linked. ...
متن کاملDominant maternal-effect mutations causing embryonic lethality in Caenorhabditis elegans.
We undertook screens for dominant, temperature-sensitive, maternal-effect embryonic-lethal mutations of Caenorhabditis elegans as a way to identify certain classes of genes with early embryonic functions, in particular those that are members of multigene families and those that are required in two copies for normal development. The screens have identified eight mutations, representing six loci....
