Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
EU603 lit-1(or131) III; him-8(e1489) IV. or131 mutant embyros have a highly penetrant mom-like defect with mutant embryos lacking gut and making extra pharyngeal tissue at 25C. Maintain at 15C.
EU920 lit-1(or393) III; him-8(e1489) IV. Temperature-sensitive embryonic lethal. Maintain at 15C. Reference: O'Rourke SM, et al. PLoS One. 2011 Mar 1;6(3):e16644.
GE2244 unc-32(e189) lit-1(t1512)/qC1 [dpy-19(e1259) glp-1(q339)] III; him-3(e1147) IV. Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, DpySteriles and Uncs which produce only dead eggs at 25C but viable progeny at 15C. Throws males.
GE2353 unc-32(e189) lit-1(t1534)/qC1 [dpy-19(e1259) glp-1(q339)] III; him-3(e1147) IV. Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Uncs which produce dead eggs, and Dpy Steriles. Throws males.
HS1028 mom-4(ne1539) I; lit-1(t1512) III. This strain can grow at 11.5C but is embryonic lethal at 15C and above. Temperature shifts in late embryogenesis or in larval stages result in defects in many asymmetric cell divisions in postembryonic develoment.
VC635 lit-1(ok649) III/mT1 [dpy-10(e128)] (II;III). W06F12.1a. Apparent homozygous lethal deletion chromosome balanced by dpy-10-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT, and segregate WT, arrested mT1 aneuploids, sterile Dpy mT1 homozygotes, and ok649 homozygotes (arrest stage/phenotype undetermined). Pick WT and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Attribution: This strain was provided by the C. elegans Reverse Genetics Core Facility at the University of British Columbia, which is part of the international C. elegans Gene Knockout Consortium, which should be acknowledged in any publications resulting from its use.

WM93 lit-1(ne1991) III. Temperature sensitive embryonic lethal. Maintain at 15C.
