Abstract excerpt
We generated and sequenced 12,069 viable Caenorhabditis elegans strains produced by ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis, identifying 20,315,536 variants, including 541,102 unique missense mutations across 20,914 genes. Most strains exhibit resistance to the anti-nematode drug ivermectin, whereas some others display phenotypes like dumpy morphology, uncoordinated movement, multivulva formation, and blistered...
