Strains contributed by this laboratory

Strain Genotype Species Description
EJ1158 gon-2(q388) I. C. elegans NOTE: Supplement media to 50 mM Mg2+ and grow at 15C for maximum fertility. Temperature-sensitive failure of gonad precursor divisions. Penetrance of Gon phenotype is high at 23.5C. At 25 degrees you can expect reduced brood sizes and some embryonic lethality. [Note: temperature sensitive period for gon-2(q388) begins prior to fertilization.] Reference: Sun AY & Lambie EJ. Genetics. 1997 Nov;147(3):1077-89.
EJ1167 gem-1(bc364) X. C. elegans bc364 deletes 1,109 bp between AACATCTTGAATAACCATTCGGGAAGT and AAGTCATTCATTGCAGAGCTTACATTTAGTA. References: Kemp BJ, et al. Genetics. 2009 Feb;181(2):581-91.
EJ1171 gon-2(q388) I; gem-1(bc364) X. C. elegans NOTE: Supplement media to 50 mM Mg2+ and grow at 15C for maximum fertility. The stock will propagate on non-supplemented media at 20 degrees, but this will potentially select for intragenic revertants of gon-2(q388). Temperature-sensitive failure of gonad precursor divisions. Penetrance of Gon phenotype is very high at 23.5C. At 25 degrees you can expect reduced brood sizes and some embryonic lethality. [Note: temperature sensitive period for gon-2(q388) begins prior to fertilization.] bc364 deletes 1,109 bp between AACATCTTGAATAACCATTCGGGAAGT and AAGTCATTCATTGCAGAGCTTACATTTAGTA. References: Kemp BJ, et al. Genetics. 2009 Feb;181(2):581-91. Sun AY & Lambie EJ. Genetics. 1997 Nov;147(3):1077-89.
EJ238 mek-2(q425) unc-11(e47) I; sDp2 (I;f). C. elegans Animals with the duplication are WT. Animals which have lost the duplication are Unc, Sterile and Vul at all temperatures.
EJ255 mek-2(q484) I; sDp2 (I;f). C. elegans Animals with the duplication are WT. Animals which have lost the duplication are Sterile and Vul. At 15C rare animals will have a protruding vulva. At 20C and 25C animals with protruding vulva are more common, about 10%.
EJ26 gon-2(q362) I. C. elegans Starvation sensitive gonadogenesis defect.
EJ275 unc-29(e1072)/dxDf1 I. C. elegans Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Uncs and dead eggs.
EJ374 gon-2(dx22) fer-1(hc1) unc-29(e1072) I. C. elegans Unc. Temperature senstive for both gon-2 and fer-1. Maintain at 15C. Will also grow at 20C. Received new stock 10/12/00 from EJ.
EJ420 gon-2(dx23) fer-1(hc1) I. C. elegans Temperature sensitive for both gon-2 and fer-1. Maintain at 15C. Will also grow at 20C.
EJ808 gem-4(dx77) IV. C. elegans No apparent phenotype. Suppressor of gon-2(q388).
EJ810 F25H2.5(ok314)/hT2 [dpy-18(h662)] I; +/hT2 [bli-4(e937)] III; him-8(e1489) IV. C. elegans Him. Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Sterile Evul and Dpys.
