Strain Genotype Description
BC10102 dpy-5(e907) I; sEx10102. sEx10102 [rCes F01G4.1::GFP + pCeh361]. Maintain by picking WT. WT animals are GFP+. Strain construction supported by Genome British Columbia and Genome Canada. Please acknowledge McKay et al, Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology 68: 159-169 2004 (WBPaper00006525).
HS184 swsn-4(os13) IV. Egl, Pvul, Psa (Phasmid Socket Absent) and some embryonic lethality. The T cell division can be symmetric as in lin-17 mutants. Less severe at 15C. swsn-4 encodes a homolog of yeast SW12, a component of the SWI/SNF complex.
RA520 swsn-4(tm305) IV/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V). Heterozygotes are mostly wild-type GFP+, but occasionally have missing gonad arms. Pick wild-type GFP+ to maintain. Heterozygotes segregate wild-type GFP+, GFP- tm305 homozygotes (embryonic lethal) and arrested nT1 aneuploids. Reference: Large EE and Mathies LD (2014 Jan 8). G3, doi: 10.1534/g3.113.009852.
SV1871 swsn-4(he268 he272 [LoxN start + LoxN intron 5]) IV; heSi208 V; heSi141 X. heSi208 [eft- 3p::LoxP::NLS(egl-13)::tagBFP2::tbb-2 UTR::LoxP::NLS(egl-13)::mCherry::tbb-2 3'UTR] V. heSi141 [hlh-8p::CRE] X. Egg laying defective. LoxN sites in the endogenous swsn-4 locus facilitate inducible knockout of swsn-4. he268 he272 homozygotes are Egl since they cannot form a functioning vulva due to swsn-4 inactivated in the mesoderm lineage by hlh-8p::CRE expression.
