Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
EJ1158 gon-2(q388) I. NOTE: Supplement media to 50 mM Mg2+ and grow at 15C for maximum fertility. Temperature-sensitive failure of gonad precursor divisions. Penetrance of Gon phenotype is high at 23.5C. At 25 degrees you can expect reduced brood sizes and some embryonic lethality. [Note: temperature sensitive period for gon-2(q388) begins prior to fertilization.] Reference: Sun AY & Lambie EJ. Genetics. 1997 Nov;147(3):1077-89.
EJ1171 gon-2(q388) I; gem-1(bc364) X. NOTE: Supplement media to 50 mM Mg2+ and grow at 15C for maximum fertility. The stock will propagate on non-supplemented media at 20 degrees, but this will potentially select for intragenic revertants of gon-2(q388). Temperature-sensitive failure of gonad precursor divisions. Penetrance of Gon phenotype is very high at 23.5C. At 25 degrees you can expect reduced brood sizes and some embryonic lethality. [Note: temperature sensitive period for gon-2(q388) begins prior to fertilization.] bc364 deletes 1,109 bp between AACATCTTGAATAACCATTCGGGAAGT and AAGTCATTCATTGCAGAGCTTACATTTAGTA.

EJ26 gon-2(q362) I. Starvation sensitive gonadogenesis defect.
EJ374 gon-2(dx22) fer-1(hc1) unc-29(e1072) I. Unc. Temperature senstive for both gon-2 and fer-1. Maintain at 15C. Will also grow at 20C. Received new stock 10/12/00 from EJ.
EJ420 gon-2(dx23) fer-1(hc1) I. Temperature sensitive for both gon-2 and fer-1. Maintain at 15C. Will also grow at 20C.
VC1463 gon-2(ok465) I/hT2 [bli-4(e937) let-?(q782) qIs48] (I;III). T01H8.5. Homozygous sterile 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 ok465 homozygotes (sterile adult). Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. External left primer: TGAGAGGTTAAATCAGCCCG. External right primer: GTTGCTGCATTTGGACTTGA. Internal left primer: TGGTGAATAATTGGCTGCAA. Internal right primer: GATGCTTTGGGTTTGTGCTT. Internal WT amplicon: 2829 bp. Deletion size: 507 bp. Deletion left flank: TAATGGTAATCTGACAGAAAACGATTTTTT. Deletion right flank: AGAACTAGAGATATTTTTTGATAAAAACGC.
