The (G4C2)29 transgene is toxic. Percent lethality on day 10 of adulthood at three different temperatures are shown. The wild-type N2 (WT) strain displayed little or no lethality at any temperature tested. Strain EAB135, carrying the (G4C2)29 transgene, displayed much greater lethality at 20°C or 25°C than strain EAB242, carrying the (G4C2)9 transgene (both P < 0.01).
