Learned by Reading

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Mutant male worms exhibit impaired mating abilities and increased dispersion due to poor mate recognition and vulval location abilities (the Lov phenotype, as described by the Barr and Sternberg laboratories).
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Because oma – 1; oma – 2 mutant worms are sterile, we are unable to examine the function, if any, of OMA – 1 and OMA – 2 in early embryos.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

We found that localization of UNC – 33 is normal in any types of unc – 43 mutant worms.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

The mutant worms were severely uncoordinated, defective in mechanosensation, and showed a kinked head and withered tail.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Two such screens are presented: (I) To identify genes involved in the biogenesis and cell biology of fat storage, we screened EMS – mutagenized N2 animals for mutant worms with abnormalities in lipid droplet size or number.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Here we describe a new approach for using automatically – acquired image data to quantify the locomotion patterns of wild – type and mutant worms.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

To determine whether HERG can replace the function of EXP – 2 in C. elegans, and thus to attempt to engineer a predicted pharyngeal pumping behavior, we have expressed a functional HERG: : GFP fusion protein 1 in the pharynxes of exp – 2 and eat – 4; exp – 2 mutant worms. exp – 2 mutants lack repolarization spikes in electropharyngeograms (EPG), but otherwise have no visible feeding defects. eat – 4; exp – 2 appears to be slightly starved on HB101 bacteria, but is visibly starved and slow – growing on DA837 bacteria.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Mutant worms could clean up polluted land.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Genetic interactions between endogenous signaling pathways and the lat – 1 nulls have been examined by the construction of double mutant worms, revealing novel facets of lat – 1 function.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Mutant worms could clean up polluted land.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Mutant worms moved normally and released normal levels of neurotransmitter as assayed pharmacologically and electrophysiologically.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Comparison of the amounts of partially spliced let – 2 RNAs in synchronized wild – type and asd – 2 mutant worms suggested that either of the introns downstream from the let – 2 mutually exclusive exons is removed prior to the removal of the upstream ones, and that asd – 2 promotes biased excision of intron 10 in the late larval stages.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Our studies using dyn – 1 mutant worms, and complementary studies in mammals, revealed an unexpected and novel requirement for dynamin in maturation of phagosomes containing apoptotic cells.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

All such doubly mutant worms roll as adults suggesting that the rol – 3 product does not function directly within the adult cuticle.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

Staining of the mutant gonads with an antibody against a mitosis marker (phosphorylated serine 10 on histone H3) demonstrates that there are fewer cells undergoing mitosis in the mutant worms compared to N2 worms.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

In this paper, we describe the results of transgenic expression analysis of the gene and report the results of proteome analysis (2D page) and glycolipid analysis of the mutant worms.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

We want to elucidate the role of P granules, the germ – line granules of C. elegans, by studying a gene, pgl – 1, which likely encodes a component of P granules. pgl – 1 was identified in genetic screens: pgl – 1 mutant worms lack some P – granule epitopes (those recognized by the MAbs K76 and OIC1D4), and show a temperature – sensitive maternal – effect sterile phenotype (pgl – 1 / pgl – 1 hermaphrodites from heterozygous mothers are themselves fertile but produce all sterile progeny at 26oC).
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

The Ven phenotype was observed in embryos, and mutant worms not exhibiting the Ven phenotype in L1 larvae remained normal at later stages.
(Parse)

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

The rop – 1 mutant worms display no visible defects.
