This research was supported by Grants to B.J.M. from the Muscular Dystrophy Association and to M.L.N. (NS33535) and H.R.H. (GM24663) from the United States Public Health Service (USPHS). M.L.N. was supported during portions of this work by a public service award from the USPHS. H.R.H. is an Investigator for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. We thank Wayne Davis and Leon Avery for suggestions in setting up the EPG system; Doju Yoshikami and Larry Okun for providing the recording equipment; Jim Thomas for providing programs to aid in assaying defecation; Lisa Chen, Andy Fire, and Jim Kramer for providing strains; and Allison Potter, Liping Wei, and Felisha Starkey for technical assistance. Several C. elegans strains were obtained from the Caenorhabditis Genetics Center (St. Paul, MN).
