Strain Genotype Description
AP36 mep-1(ok421) IV/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V). qIs51 [myo-2p::GFP + pes-10p::GFP + F22B7.9p::GFP]. Heterozygotes are wild-type GFP+ and segregate non-GFP ok421 homozygotes, wild-type GFP+ heterozygotes, and arrested nT1[qIs51] aneuploids. Pick wild-type GFP+ and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Received new stock 12/02.
BC11410 dpy-5(e907) I; sEx11410. sEx11410 [rCes M04B2.1::GFP + pCeh361]. Maintain by picking WT. WT animals are GFP+. Strain construction supported by Genome British Columbia and Genome Canada. Please acknowledge McKay et al, Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology 68: 159-169 2004 (WBPaper00006525).
JK2906 mep-1(q660) IV/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V). M04B2.1 Throws Steriles and GFP(+) nT1 heterozygotes and dead eggs. The nT1 chromosome is apparently homozygous lethal since Vul worms are not seen. For some reason, crosses with this nT1[qIs51] chromosome generate an excess of male progeny. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC.
MT11713 mep-1(n3702) IV/nT1 [unc-?(n754) let-?] (IV;V). Heterozygotes are Unc and segregate Unc, PvlSte, and dead eggs.
