Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
BN426 mel-28(bq5[GFP::mel-28]) III. Strain ubiquitously expresses GFP::MEL-28 from the endogenous mel-28 locus. Transgene was inserted into parental strain N2 using CRISPR/Cas9 and co-conversion of dpy-10. Outcrossed twice to N2 to remove dpy-10. Reference: Gomez-Saldivar G, et al. PLoS Genet. 2016 Jun 24;12(6):e1006131.
BN452 bqSi189 II; mel-28(bq5[GFP::mel-28]) III. bqSi189 [lmn-1p::mCherry::his-58 + unc-119(+)] II. Strain ubiquitously expresses GFP::MEL-28 from the endogenous mel-28 locus. Transgene was inserted into parental strain N2 using CRISPR/Cas9 and co-conversion of dpy-10. Outcrossed twice to N2 to remove dpy-10. bqSi189 is a single-copy MosSCI insertion into ttTi5605 derived from injection of pBN13. Derived from parental strains BN189 and BN426. Reference: Gomez-Saldivar G, et al. PLoS Genet. 2016 Jun 24;12(6):e1006131.
BN464 bqSi189 II; mel-28(t1684) unc-32(e189)/qC1 dpy-19(e1259) glp-1(q339) III; ojIs1 bqSi189 [lmn-1p::mCherry::his-58 + unc-119(+)] II. ojIs1 [pie-1p::GFP::tbb-2 + unc-119(+)]. Maintain at 25C to help prevent silencing of ojIs1. mel-28 heterozygotes are wild-type and segregate wild-type, DpySteriles, and Uncs which give only dead eggs. ojIs1 is likely integrated into LG V. bqSi189 is a single-copy MosSCI insertion into ttTi5605 derived from injection of pBN13. Derived from GE2622; this strain might still carry him-3(e1147) in the background. Reference: Gomez-Saldivar G, et al. PLoS Genet. 2016 Jun 24;12(6):e1006131.
GE2633 mel-28(t1684) unc-32(e189)/qC1 [dpy-19(e1259) glp-1(q339)] III; him-3(e1147) IV. Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, DpySteriles, and Uncs which give only dead eggs.
