Figure 6.

The survival curve of Caenorhabditis elegans CHD-3 (eh4) after heat stress. Twenty experimental animals were used per group, ie, wild-type (N2) or CHD-3 knockout (FR355). Heat shock treatment is at 33 °C for six hours, and then incubation at 25 °C for the remainder of the experiment. If an animal could not respond to tactile stimulation, it was counted as “dead”. Experiments were repeated many times and a representative figure is shown here.
