Summary of mboa-7 mutant defects

Strain	Larval arrest (%)	No. of eggs in uterus	% of worms with >20 eggs in uterus
Wild-type	0.2 ± 0.2	14.0 ± 0.6	2.5 (1/60)
mboa-7	21.7 ± 1.7	21.9 ± 0.7	70.0 (21/30)
mboa-7;xhEx1[mboa-7::GFP]	2.1 ± 1.6	10.8 ± 0.5	0 (0/30)

Phenotypes of mboa-7 were analyzed as described in Materials and Methods. Data represents the mean ± SEM of at least three independent experiments. Larval arrest refers to the percentage of larvae that have arrested development at an early larval stage (n > 500 for each strain). MBOA-7::GFP is expressed under the control of its own promoter. All strains were raised at 20°C.
