Strain Genotype Description
RB1049 rom-2(ok996) III. C48B4.2. Homozygous. Outer Left Sequence: CCCATCGAGAGAATTGGAAA. Outer Right Sequence: ATGCGTGAAGGAAAACCTGT. Inner Left Sequence: CGGAGATGAACAGAGCACAA. Inner Right Sequence: CAGATGAGCAAATGCAAAGG. Inner Primer WT PCR product: 2823. Deletion size: 530 bp. Attribution: This strain was provided by the C. elegans Gene Knockout Project at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, which was part of the International C. elegans Gene Knockout Consortium, which should be acknowledged in any publications resulting from its use.

VC578 rom-2(gk279) III/hT2 [bli-4(e937) let-?(q782) qIs48] (I;III). C48B4.2. 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 ok279 homozygotes (early larval arrest). 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. 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.
