Strains contributed by this laboratory
| Strain | Genotype | Species | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| DF22 | tlp-1(bx85) unc-24(e138) IV; him-5(e1490) V. | C. elegans | Unc. Although hermaphrodites appear WT in other ways, there are some problems with T cell lineages (affecting the phasmids) and tail cell fusions. Variably Dyf. Male tail tip morphogenesis is also defective, resulting in blobby, "leptoderan" tails. Males are infertile due to an inability to properly copulate. |
| DF5010 | Metarhabditis blumi wild isolate. | Metarhabditis blumi | Metarhabditis blumi wild isolate. Formerly known as Rhabditis blumi. Isolated by J.P. Blum in April 1971 in a dung heap near Valencia, Spain. Gonochoristic. Grows well at 16-24C on OP50. Forms dauer larvae on overcrowded and starved plates. Freezes easily with C. elegans protocols with 80% viability. |
| DF5022 | Pelodera strongyloides wild isolate. | Pelodera strongyloides | WT strain, Pelodera strongyloides. Isolated in April 1948 from pustules in the skin of a cow with dermatitis in central Illinois (see Levine et al 1950). Gonochoristic. May cause dermatitis in mammals (such as domesticated animals, and, rarely, humans). Grows well at 16-24C on OP50. Dauer larvae are the infective stage and are thermotactic. Freezes easily with C. elegans protocols with 70% viability. Previously called Pelodera strongyloides dermatitica by the CGC. |
| DF5081 | Caenorhabditis japonica. | C. japonica | Male-female strain. Maintain by mating. Strain used for sequencing. DF5081 is the strain of Caenorhabditis japonica that Karin Kiontke generated with 20x incrossing of DF5080. http://genome.wustl.edu/pub/organism/Invertebrates/Caenorha bditis_japonica/assembly/Caenorhabditis_japonica-3.0.2/ASSE MBLY |
| DF5112 | Caenorhabditis drosophilae wild isolate. | C. drosophilae | 20x inbred line derived from DF5077. Male-female strain. Heat shock 2.5-3.0 hrs at 30C immediately prior to freezing. |
| DF5152 | Caenorhabditis sp. 30 wild isolate. | C. sp. 30 | Isofemale line. Isolated from a rotten lemon collected at Chan Chich Lodge in the town of Gallon Jug, Orange Walk, Belize (17.56399°N, 89.046282°W) on 11/15/12. |
| DF5173 | Caenorhabditis sp. 8 wild isolate. | C. sp. 8 | Male-female strain. 20x inbred line derived from TMG13. Heat shock 2.5-3.0 hrs at 30C immediately prior to freezing. |
| DF64 | nyDf1(ny15) IV; him-5(e1490) V. | C. elegans | Deficiency covers at least all of cosmid T23G4; right breakpoint may be in cosmid C47A4. Fails to complement tlp-1(bx85). Viable and fertile. Although hermaphrodites appear WT in other ways, there are some problems with T cell lineages (affecting the phasmids) and tail cell fusions. Variably Dyf. Male tail tip morphogenesis is also defective, resulting in blobby, "leptoderan" tails. Males are infertile due to an inability to properly copulate. |
| EM195 | lep-2(bx73) IV; him-5(e1490) V. | C.elegans | lep-2/Y55F3AM.6 reference allele. Him. Reference: Herrera RA, et al. Development. 2016 Mar 1;143(5):799-809. doi: 10.1242/dev.132738. PMID: 26811380. |
| EM347 | tlp-1(bx85) IV; him-5(e1490) V. | C. elegans | Although hermaphrodites appear WT in other ways, there are some problems with T cell lineages (affecting the phasmids) and tail cell fusions. Variably Dyf. Male tail tip morphogenesis is also defective, resulting in blobby, "leptoderan" tails. Males are infertile due to an inability to properly copulate. tlp-1 encodes a nuclear protein with a single C2H2-type zinc finger domain and an N-terminal "SPLALLA" domain, similar to that of Sp1 transcription factors of vertebrates. The bx85 mutation involves a truncation of TLP-1 due to a frameshift caused by a 5-bp deletion. |
| EM435 | Oscheius myriophilus wild isolate. | Oscheius myriophilus | WT strain. Isolated by D. Fitch in June 1990 from soil in Scott Emmons' compost heap in the Fort Greene section of Brooklyn, NY. A second strain, DF5038, was isolated from the same location one year later from the head and ventral segments of a male pill bug (Armadillidium vulgare). Hermaphroditic. Males are easily isolated by heat shocking L4 or early adult hermaphrodites at 30C for 6-12 hrs. Grows well at 6-25C on OP50. Dauer larvae accumulate under starved or overcrowded conditions. Freezes easily using C. elegans protocols with 90% viability. Previously called Rhabditis sp. See also WBPaper00003418. Formerly known as Oscheius myriophila. |
