LX604 rgs-4(vs93) II. C. elegans 231 bp deletion removes all of exons 2 and 3 and throws the remaining portion of the proten (which contains the RGS domain) out of frame. Deletion endpoints are: GCAGCTCACGGAGCCCGGAGTT...CACCGTCGCCAAGACTTAGGTA.
LX606 rgs-9(vs95) X. C. elegans This deletion removes most of exon1, all of exon 2, and most of exon 3. It removes a good chunk of the protein region, including the RGS domain.
LX636 dop-1(vs101) X. C. elegans 167 bp deletion which takes out most of exon 3 and the first 42 bases of exon 4. The first 22 bp of the deletion are: TATGGCTGATATCCGCAGGAAT.

LX658 mnDp33 (X;IV)/+ IV; unc-20(e112) rgs-7(vs92) X. C. elegans Heterozygotes are WT. Animals which have lost the duplication are Unc and homozygous for rgs-7. Animals which are homozygous for the duplication are dead. Unc is temperature sensitive. vs92 is a 361 bp deletion which removes the 3' splice site of exon 6, all of exon 7 and half of exon 8. All of the deleted region is within the RGS domain.
LX671 ocr-2(vs29) IV. C. elegans Lays 86% of its eggs at the 8-cell or earlier stage.
LX677 rgs-7(vs98)/unc-1(n496) lon-2(e678) X. C. elegans Heterozygotes are Unc but not Lon. n496 is dominant. Segregates LonUnc. vs98 homozygotes are non-Unc, non-Lon and are Mel (they give only dead eggs). Strain will break down due to recombination so check for the presence of vs98 by PCR every few generations. Received new stock Feb 2005.
