WormMine: Phenotype WBPhenotype:0001249 amphid channel cilia morphology variant

• Description: Animals exhibit variations in the structure or composition of the dendritic projections of the amphid sensory neurons that traverse the sensillum pore to connect with the outside of the animal, compared to that observed in control animals. In C. elegans, amphid channel cilia morphology is frequently assayed by dye-filling experiments using FITC, DiI or DiO.

Identifier	Name	Description
WBPhenotype:0001254	amphid channel cilia bulbous	The dendritic processes that normally extend through the amphid sensillum pore to the outside are truncated and have swollen ends as opposed to the extended and finger-like tips of channel cilia in control animals.
WBPhenotype:0001250	amphid channel axoneme morphology variant	Animals exhibit variations in the structure or composition of the microtuble-based fibrillar core, axoneme, of the cilia of the neurons that project through the sensillum pore to the outside of the animal, compared to that observed in control animals.

Identifier	Name	Description
WBPhenotype:0000615	cilia morphology variant	Animals exhibit variations in the structure or organization of the microtubule-based dendritic projections extending from the cell body, compared to that observed in control animals. In C. elegans, cilia are classified as channel cilia or wing cilia depending on their placement within the sensillum. Channel cilia of control animals are cylindrical, extend into the sensillum pore and are exposed to the outside. Wing cilia of control animals vary in shape, are embedded in the sensillum sheath cell and are not typically refractory to dyes indicating exposure to the outside.
