Strains contributed by this laboratory

Strain Genotype Species Description
AT10 srf-3(yj10) IV. C. elegans Superficially wild-type. Antibody staining required to observe phenotype. Contains at least one extraneous mutation in the background (Eur. Worm Mtg 2006, Venuz et al.).
AT18 srf-6(yj13) II. C elegans No visible phenotype. Whole genome sequenced strain. Reference: Grenache DG, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1996 Oct 29;93(22):12388-93.
AT24 srf-6(yj15) II. C. elegans No visible phenotype. Whole genome sequenced strain.
AT25 srf-6(yj41) II. C elegans No visible phenotype. Whole genome sequenced strain.
AT28 kyIs140 I; srf-6(yj13) unc-4(e120) II. C. elegans kyIs140 [str-2::GFP + lin-15(+)] I. Kinker; can't back up. srf-6 mutants express str-2::GFP in both AWC neurons (2AWC ON phenotype; wild-type phenotype is 1AWC ON): check for this phenotype to avoid reversion of srf-6(yj13). srf-6 mutants were originally identified by binding of an L1-specific antibody in later larval stages (L1-L4).
AT30 kyIs140 I; nsy-1(ok593) unc-4(e120) II. C. elegans kyIs140 [str-2::GFP + lin-15(+)] I. nsy-1(ky593) has no visible phenotype, but can be tracked by linked Unc-4 phenotype (Kinker, can't back up). str-2::GFP is expressed in both AWC neurons.
AT6 srf-2(yj262) I. C. elegans Superficially wild-type. Antibody staining required to observe phenotype.
