impacted eggs

    Do all genetic types suffer from the problem of impacted eggs or is it limited to certain ones?

    It's quite rare so I don't think anyone knows for sure. At least, I haven't come across a paper that looks at it. Maybe we'll see enough examples on WormWatch to tell if it's more likely in some mutants than others.

    In that case, volunteers should definitely use that #impacted tag, or perhaps start a collection of any time they see impacted eggs!
