Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
EL302 ego-1(om71) unc-29(e193)/hT2 [dpy-18(h662)] I; +/hT2 [bli-4(e937)] III. Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Sterile Uncs and Dpys. bli-4 is suppressed by dpy-18 in hT2 homozygotes-only see a very few DpyBli.
EL329 ego-1(om58)/hT2 [dpy-18(h662)] I; +/hT2 [bli-4(e937)] III. Heterozgyotes are WT and segregate WT, Steriles and Dpys. The Steriles produce small, abnormal oocytes; some dead embryos are produced in late adulthood. bli-4 is suppressed by dpy-1 in hT2 homozygotes-only see a very few DpyBli. om58 previously called ego-6(om58).
EL391 ego-1(om84) unc-29(e193)/hT2 [dpy-18(h662)] I; +/hT2 [bli-4(e937)] III. Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, mild Unc that are Sterile, and Dpys. bli-4 is suppressed by dpy-18 in hT2 homozygotes-only see a very few DpyBli.
WM215 avr-14(ad1302) ego-1(om97) I/hT2 [bli-4(e937) let-?(q782) qIs48] (I;III); avr-15(ad1051) glc-1(pk54)) V. Heterozygotes are wild-type, GFP+ and sensitive to ivermectin. Segregates non-GFP ego-1 homozygotes (sterile, resisitant to ivermectin), arrested hT2 aneuploids, and wild-type GFP+ heterozygotes. Maintain by picking GFP+. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it directly from the CGC. Reference: Claycomb JM, et al. Cell. 2009 Oct 2;139(1):123-34.
