Strains contributed by this laboratory

Strain Genotype Species Description
GB244 unc-96(sf18) X. C. elegans Adults are Unc - reduced motility; characteristic birefrigent "needles" in body wall muscle cells by polarized light microscopy; contain accumulations of paramyosin and UNC-98. Phenotype (needles and accumulations of paramyosin) is suppressed by growth at 15C or by starvation.
GB246 unc-98(sf19) X. C. elegans Adults are Unc - reduced motility; characteristic birefrigent "needles" in body wall muscle cells by polarized light microscopy; contain accumulations of paramyosin and UNC-96.
GB247 unc-94(sf20) I. C. elegans Adults are Unc - reduced motility; disorganization of myofilament lattice in body wall muscle cells by polarized light microscopy; abnormal accululations of F-actin near muscle cell-cell boundaries.
