Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
GIN101 thoc-2(tm1310) III/hT2[bli-4(e937) let-?(q782) qIs48] (I;III). Homozygous sterile allele 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 sterile homozygotes (tm1310 is maternally rescued; progeny of non-GFP animals fail to give viable progeny). Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Reference: Castellano-Pozo, García-Muse T, Aguilera A. 2012 R-loops cause replication impairment and genome instability during meiosis. EMBO Rep. 13(10): 923-9.
GIN102 thoc-2(tm1310) III/hT2[bli-4(e937) let-?(q782) qIs48] (I;III); spo-11(ok79) IV/nT1 [unc-?(n754) let-?] (IV;V). Maintain by picking Unc GFP progeny that produce viable embryos and checking that the non-GFP progeny that are produced fail to give viable progeny. tm1310 is a homozygous sterile allele balanced by bli-4- and GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are Unc with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate Unc GFP, arrested hT2 aneuploids, and non-GFP sterile homozygotes (tm1310 is maternally rescued; progeny of non-GFP animals fail to give viable progeny). Homozygous hT2 [bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. ok79 heterozygotes are Unc and segregate Uncs, dead eggs, and Him ok79 homozygotes (maternally rescued). Reference: Castellano-Pozo, García-Muse T, Aguilera A. 2012 R-loops cause replication impairment and genome instability during meiosis. EMBO Rep. 13(10): 923-9.
VC673 thoc-2(ok961) III/hT2 [bli-4(e937) let-?(q782) qIs48] (I;III). C16A3.8. Homozygous lethal 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 ok961 homozygotes (sterile adult with vulval defects, sometimes explodes at vulva). Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. Note: qIs48 has been observed to recombine off hT2, typically leaving behind a functional homozygous viable hT2 with Bli-4 phenotype. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain.
