This RNAi suppresses the SynMuv phenotype of lin-15AB(n765). It is allele-specific as it cannot suppress the SynMuv phenotype of of three other SynMuv mutant combinations tested: (i) lin-15B(n309); (ii) lin-8(n111), lin-15AB(n765); and (iii) lin-8(n111), lin-15B(n744).
Multiple vulva-like protrusions are present along the ventral side of the animal. In C. elegans, this is usually a result of all six vulval precursor cells adopting primary or secondary vulval fates.
