Strains contributed by this laboratory

Strain Genotype Species Description
IZ1152 ufIs104. C. elegans ufIs104 [nlp-12(+) + lgc-11p::GFP]. ufIs104 contains a 1.76 kb PCR product containing the nlp-12 genomic locus (−354 bp to +1407 bp relative to the transcriptional start). Over-expression of nlp-12 results in increased body bend amplitude. This strain has a high rate of sterility but can be successfully maintained as a homozygote. Reference: Bhattacharya R, et al. PLoS Genet. 2014 Aug 28;10(8):e1004584. doi: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1004584. PMID: 25167143.
IZ1458 ufIs126 V. C. elegans ufIs126 [flp-13p::acr-12::GFP + lgc-11::mCherry] V. ACR-12::GFP expression labels postsynaptic iAChRs in DD motor neurons. References: Philbrook A, et al. eLife. 2018 Jul 24;7:e35692. doi: 10.7554/eLife.35692. PMID: 30039797. Oliver D, et al. PLoS Genet. 2022 Jan 28;18(1):e1010016. doi: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1010016.
