Strain Information

Name CVB39   View On Wormbase
Species C. elegans
Genotypesiss-1(csn20) IV.
Descriptionsiss-1(csn20) homozygotes are defective in stress-induced sleep (SIS) but otherwise normal (homozygous viable, fertile, morphologically and behaviorally wild-type). siss-1, formerly known as igeg-1, encodes an EGFR ligand. The csn20 mutation is a single amino acid substitution of one of the conserved Cysteines within the EGF domain and phenocopies deletion alleles of this gene. Reference: Hill et al. 2024. In preparation.
