dut-1(RNAi) is embryonic lethal in N2 wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans

RNAi	Animals inspected	Embryonic lethal (%)	Hatching (%)	Adult (%)	t-Test (P)*
L4440	1,260	6 (0.5)	1,254 (99.5)	1,254 (99.5)	NA
dut-1	1,147	824 (72)	324 (28)	9 (0.8)‡	<0.001

NA, not applicable; RNAi, RNA interference.

^*P-values calculated from two-tailed Student's t-test after dut-1(RNAi) compared with empty vector control.

^‡L4-like phenotype characterized by adult-sized animals but no formation of oocytes or embryos.
