Table 1 Reduced brood size of mes-2, utx-1 and jmjd-3.2 mutants is not required for lifespan extension. Single worms were picked onto separate plates and the whole brood counted by moving the mother onto a fresh plate each day until egg-laying stopped and combining the counts for each plate. The broods of a minimum of 10 animals were assessed per strain. The table is ranked by brood size. p values are relative to the wild-type N2 strain
