NFB1369 ast-1(vlc19[ast-1::GFP]) II. vlc19[ast-1::GFP] II. Superficially wild-type. Endogenous ast-1 locus tagged with GFP using Cas9-triggered homologous recombination. GFP was inserted at the C-terminus using a 9 amino acid flexible linker present in the plasmids (Dickinson et al., 2015).

VC10005 ast-1(gk463) bli-2(e768) unc-4(e120)/mIn1 [mIs14 dpy-10(e128)] II. T08H4.3. Homozygous lethal deletion chromosome balanced by GFP- and dpy-10-marked inversion. Heterozygotes are WT with relatively dim pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT dim GFP, Dpy bright GFP (mIn1 homozygotes), and Unc non-GFP gk463 homozygotes (larval arrest; bli-2 not evident until adult stage). Pick WT dim GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain.
