Strain Genotype Description
BC13756 dpy-5(e907) I; sEx13756. sEx13756 [rCesZK370.2::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).
CB502 sma-2(e502) III. Small. Recessive. Male spicules abnormal. M-MATING-NO SUCCESS. Synthetic lethal common.
DG728 sma-2(e502) emb-30(tn377) ced-7(n1892) unc-69(e587) III. Temperature sensitive emb-30 allele. Maintain at 15C. Small. Unc. Cell death abnormal.
DG796 sma-2(e502) tnDf2/sma-2(e502) ced-7(n1892) unc-69(e587) III. Heterozygotes are SmaCed and segregate SmaCed, SmaCedUnc and dead eggs. Maintain by picking SmaCed. tnDf2 is not transmitted well by males (i.e. tnDf2/+ males have a low mating efficiency).
DG801 unc-32(e189) tnDf2/sma-2(e502) ced-7(n1892) unc-69(e587) III. Heterozygotes are Ced and segregate Ced, dead eggs and SmaCedUncs. Maintain by picking Ced. tnDf2 is not transmitted well by males (i.e. tnDf2/+ males have a low mating efficiency).
FK410 sma-2(e502) III; sma-5(n678) X. Very small. Small brood size (about 1/10 that of WT). Grows very slowly. Reference: Watanabe, N et al. Genes to Cells 2007. 12(5):603-609.
MT3022 nDf20/sma-2(e502) unc-32(e189) III. Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, SmaUnc and dead eggs. Maintain by picking WT.
MT4995 sma-2(e502) ced-7(n1892) III. Small. Maternal effect persistent cell corpses.
MT4996 sma-2(e502) ced-7(n1892) unc-69(e587) III.
PJ1224 sma-2(e502) III; ccIs55 V. ccIs55 [unc-54::lacZ + sup-7(st5)] V. Small body size. Slow growth. Strong lacZ staining in body wall.
VC3575 sma-2(ok3109)/qC1 [dpy-19(e1259) glp-1(q339)] III. ZK370.2. Apparent homozygous lethal deletion chromosome balanced by glp-1- and dpy-19-marked recombination suppressor. Heterozygotes are WT, and segregate WT, sterile ts-Dpy qC1 homozygotes, and ok3109 homozygotes (arrest stage/phenotype undetermined). Pick WT and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. External left primer: GTCGCTGATTCCAGTCGTTT. External right primer: AGCTAAATCCGCACACGAAC. Internal left primer: TAAACAGCATGCGGTGGAAT. Internal right primer: TGAAAAATTTGGCTCCGAGT. Internal WT amplicon: 1222 bp. Deletion size: 707 bp. Deletion left flank: AATAACTTTGAGAGGGAAAAGGTTACGAAA. Deletion right flank: TCACTGAAGATTTTCGATATGGAGATTTTT. Insertion sequence: TCACTGAAGATTTTCGATATGTATTTGAGAGGGAAAAGGTTACGAAA.

WM98 sma-2(e502) ced-7(n1892) cdk-1(ne236)/qC1 [dpy-19(e1259) glp-1(q339) III. Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Smalls which produces dead eggs, and Dpy Steriles. Throws males.
