One-day-old adults were assayed by recording the time from one posterior body wall contraction (pBOC) to the next using Ethotimer (J.H. Thomas, University of Washington, Seattle).
The phenotypes of adults were assayed by counting randomly selected animals under a fluorescence stereomicroscope (Leica M165 FC).
Were the chimeric transplants (i.e. nac pfe;leo-tk3 ) done with GFP labelled blastula cells, which could help discern whether those cells were even present when the adults were assayed?
Were the chimeric transplants (i.e. nac pfe;leo-tk3) done with GFP labelled blastula cells, which could help discern whether those cells were even present when the adults were assayed? 3) There is no mention of numbers of animals or any statistical considerations at all.
One foreleg from each adult was assayed.
For each lane of an immunoblot, ten (for Pnhr57 GFP) to 100 (for the epitope-tagged HIF-1) L4 or young adult worms were assayed.
To correct for variation, young adult hermaphrodites were assayed for locomotion after the same amount of time in solution or on unseeded plates (10 minutes).
Well-fed 3 day old adult worms were assayed for habituation to anterior touch as described previously [ 21].
L4 animals were placed on 100-mm NGM plates seeded with E. coli HB101 ATCC 33694 and their adult progeny were assayed 4 d later.
For RNAi clones that did not alter nematode growth and morphology, the two P0 animals (old and dark nematodes) initially incubated in the well were manually removed from the plate and young adults (F1 progeny) were assayed for light touch response as previously described [ 13].
Total cellular extract from E15 and adult brain regions were assayed.
