Strain	Genotype	Species	Description
KIR1	smc-4(tm1868) III/qC1 [dpy-19(e1259) glp-1(q339) qIs26] (III).	C. elegans	qIs26 [lag-2::GFP + rol-6(su1006)]. Rollers. Homozygous sterile deletion allele tm1868 balanced by qC1 with rol and GFP markers. Segregates GFP + Roller heterozygotes, and non-rol non-GFP tm1868 homozygotes (sick, sterile, unc). qIs26 was integrated into qC1 and in the process made qC1 homozygous lethal. Pick Rol GFP+ and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Reference: Csankovszki G, et al., Curr Biol. 2009 Jan 13;19(1):9-19.
KIR2	capg-2(tm1833) V/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V).	C. elegans	Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested nT1[qIs51] aneuploids, and non-GFP capg-2 homozygotes (sick, sterile, Unc). Homozygous nT1[qIs51] inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Reference: Csankovszki G, et al., Curr Biol. 2009 Jan 13;19(1):9-19.
