*P < 0.01 vs. him-5 (Fisher's exact test); **P < 0.0001 vs. tba-9 or pkd-2 (Fisher's exact test).
a
n is the number of observations (see materials and methods).
b
him-5(e1490) is in the background of all strains and is used as the wild-type control.
c
The pkd-2 null allele sy606 was used for these experiments.
