Strains carrying this gene

Strain Genotype Description
IK429 gcy-18(nj38) IV. Nearly normal thermotaxis behavior.
IK597 gcy-23(nj37) gcy-8(oy44) gcy-18(nj38) IV. Severe defects in thermotaxis.
OH4343 otIs133 II; otEx2498. otEx2498 [gcy-18(prom1)::GFP + rol-6(su1006)]. Expresses GFP in AFD and AIM. Maintain by picking GFP+ animals (which should also be Rollers). otIs133 [pttx-3::RFP + unc-4(+)]. RFP expressed in AIY only.
VC2321 gcy-18(ok3047) IV/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V). ZK896.8. Homozygous sterile deletion chromosome balanced by GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested nT1[qIs51] aneuploids, and non-GFP ok3047 homozygotes (sterile, lays eggs that don't hatch). Homozygous nT1[qIs51] inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. External left primer: ATCGCTAATCCACTGGAACG. External right primer: CGATCCTCCAACCAGAATGT. Internal left primer: CTGCAAAAGATTCGGACGAT. Internal right primer: GTGCCCTTTCCTTTCACTTG. Internal WT amplicon: 1263 bp. Deletion size: 517 bp. Deletion left flank: TTTCAGCAATAATCTATATGGCTCCTGAAC. Deletion right flank: GAATGTTAGAAGAAGCCAACATCCGTGCTG. 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.
