VC2660 tax-2(ok3356) I/hT2 [bli-4(e937) let-?(q782) qIs48] (I;III). ok3356. Homozygous constitutive dauer deletion chromosome balanced by bli-4- and GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested hT2 aneuploids, and non-GFP ok3356 homozygotes (constitutive dauer, probably non-recovering). Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. External left primer: CGCCAAGAAGTGAAGATTCC. External right primer: ACGCTTGTAATGCCGAAAGT. Internal left primer: GCAAATGCTTCAAAAGAGCC. Internal right primer: GAGTCCGAGCAATTCTGAAAA. Internal WT amplicon: 1122 bp. Deletion size: 367 bp. Deletion left flank: AGGAACATTTCATCCGTATGGTCGTTTCTA. Deletion right flank: TTTGGAGGATTAATCGAGTTTTGAAGGTGA.
