Strains contributed by this laboratory
| Strain | Genotype | Species | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| HG231 | age-2(yw23) I. | C. elegans | HG231 exhibits an approximately 20% increase in mean, median and maxium lifespans compared to N2. HG231 exhibits somewhat reduced fertility and somewhat longer development time than N2. It has a normal appearance, movements and mating behavior. It's swimming rate in liquid is slightly higher than N2. STS mapping indicates the most likely location for age-2 is on LG I. |
| HG284 | age-2(yw23) I; age-1(hx546) II. | C. elegans | This double mutant exhibits a doubling of both mean and maximum lifespans at 25C compared to N2. It exhibits a longer lifespan at 25C than it does at 20C. It has somewhat reduced fertility. It has normal development time, appearance, movements and feeding behavior. It's swimming rate in liquid is slightly higher than N2. STS mapping indicates the most likely location for age-2 is on LG I. |
