Wild-type and RNA interference (RNAi)-hypersensitive rrf-3 worms, respectively, were fed on selected bacterial strains of the C. elegans RNAi feeding library [2] targeting the genes lin-31, sma-4, unc-22, and lon-2. Independent RNAi phenotypes (Pheno Gene1, Pheno Gene2) were assessed when each gene was targeted individually and also for all possible pair-wise combinations of genes. Percentages represent penetrance of phenotypes. |
