  1. * Worms were synchronized by bleaching. Individual J2 were allowed to grow on normal NGM plates. The eggs laid by each worm were counted every 12 hours for a period of 48 hours. At each time point, every individual worm was transferred to a new plate. At 48 hours all the tu365 animals become egl. In both cases, 50 animals per strain were analyzed.
