Strain Genotype Description
BC14224 dpy-5(e907) I; sEx14224. sEx14224 [rCesF18A1.5::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).
GW1599 met-2(n4256) set-25(n5021) III; opIs263. opIs263 [rpa-1p::rpa-1::YFP + unc-119(+)]. Worms are slow growing with reduced brood size and become sterile at elevated temperatures. Express RPA-1::YFP in both germline and somatic tissues. Reference: Padeken J, et al. Genes Dev. 2019 Apr 1;33(7-8):436-451. PMID: 30804228
RG3106 rpa-1(ve606[LoxP + myo-2p::GFP::unc-54 3' UTR + rps-27p::neoR::unc-54 3' UTR + LoxP])/mnC1 [dpy-10(e128) unc-52(e444) umnIs37] II. umnIs37 [myo-2p::mKate2 + NeoR, II: 11755713 (intergenic)] II. Homozygous larval arrest. Deletion of 2554 bp with Calarco/Colaiacovo selection cassette conferring myo-2 GFP and G418 resistance inserted at break in parental strain N2. Heterozygotes are wild-type GFP+ mKate2+ and segregate wild-type GFP+ mKate2+ heterozygotes, GFP+ non-mKate2 arrested larvae (ve606 homozygotes) and paralysed DpyUnc non-GFP mKate2+ (mnC1 homozygotes). Maintain by picking wild-type GFP+ mKate2+. Left flanking Sequence: ttctacgccattttttttggcgcgtatccg ; Right flanking sequence: atccacaatcgctgattttgtacaatgttt. Please reference Au et al., G3 9(1): 135-144 2019 in any work resulting from use of this mutation.
SSM473 rpa-1(iow89[GFP11::rpa-1]) II; iowSi8 II; unc-119(ed3) III. rpa-1(iow89[GFP11::rpa-1]) II. iowSi8 [pie-1p::GFP1-10::him-3 3’UTR + Cbr-unc119(+)] II. CRISPR/Cas9 insertion of GFP11 tag into endogenous rpa-1 locus in background strain SSM471. GFP::RPA-1 fluorescence only observed in the germline. If germline silencing occurs, transgene expression can be recovered by growing worms at 25C for 2 generations. Reference: Hefel A & Smolikove S. G3. 2019 Jun 5;9(6):1933-1943. PMID: 30992318.
SSM476 rpa-1(iow92[OLLAS::rpa-1]) II. N-terminal OLLAS tag inserted into the endogenous rpa-1 locus using Crispr/Cas9. Generated in N2 background. Reference: Hefel et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 2021 Jan 21;gkaa1293. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkaa1293.
SSM559 rpa-4(iow128[Myc::rpa-4]) rpa-2(iow49[3xFLAG::rpa-2]) I; rpa-1(iow92[OLLAS::rpa-1]) II. CRISPR/Cas9 engineering used to insert N-terminal Myc tag into the endogenous rpa-4 locus, N-terminal 3xFLAG tag into the endogenous rpa-2 locus, and N-terminal OLLAS tag into the endogenous rpa-1 locus. SSM559 was generated by crossing rpa-2(iow49) with rpa-1(iow92), followed by CRISPR insertion of the Myc tag into rpa-4.

SSM596 rpa-1(iow117)/mIn1[mIs14 dpy-10(e128)] II. Crispr/Cas9-engineered indel in the 5’ region of rpa-1. Larval-lethal mutation balanced by GFP- and dpy-10-marked inversion. Heterozygotes are wild-type with relatively dim pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT dim GFP, Dpy bright GFP (mIn1 homozygotes), and non-GFP iow117 homozygotes (larval lethal). Pick wild-type dim GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. iow117 was generated in mre-11::GFP background and outcrossed to N2.
