Strain Genotype Species Description
KDK53250 oskEx53250. C. elegans oskEx53250 [dat-1p::GCaMP6f + dat-1p::mCherry + lin-44p::mRFP + N2 genomic DNA cut with Pvu II (as a carrier)]. Pick animals with red fluorescence to maintain. GCaMP6f and mCherry expressed in dopaminergic neurons. Generated in N2 background. Reference: Tanimoto Y, et al. Sci Rep. 2016 May 19;6:26297. doi: 10.1038/srep26297. PMID: 27193056.
KDK94 otIs672; otIs696. C. elegans otIs672 [rab-3p::NLS:: GCaMP6s + arrd-4p::NLS::GCaMP6s]. See description of strain OH16230 for full description of otIs696 NeuroPAL (Neuronal Polychromatic Atlas of Landmarks) transgene used to resolve unique neural identities in whole-brain images. 2-nonanone avoidance and electrical shock response of KDK94 are more similar to wild-type (N2) than other NeuroPAL strains. Derived by crossing parental strains OH15265 and OH15495. References: Endo Y, et al. J Biosci. 2025:50:52. PMID: 40619772. NeuroPAL reference: Yemini E, et al. Cell. 2021 Jan 7;184(1):272-288.e11.
