Expression of GFP::SYP-3 largely complements syp-3(ok758), but some meiotic nondisjunction is detected above the N2 background (85% embryonic viability; ~1% male self-progeny;). GFP::SYP-3 expression is readily detected in spermatocytes and oocytes in the germline, and localizes to the interface between paired homologous chromosomes during most of meiotic prophase.

GFP expression in 4-cell embryos, pharyngeal muscle and gut. ieDf2 is a deficiency of zim-1, zim-2, zim-3, and him-8 generated by MosDel, resulting in single-copy insertion of a copy of the C. briggsae unc-119 gene on Chromosome IV. The deletion spans the sequences from the beginning of the zim-1 coding sequence through the ttTi22866 Mos1 insertion site.
