Strain Genotype Species Description
MP108 ndg-4(lb108) III; bus-1(lb201) V. C. elegans lb108 is inseparable from dpy-17(e164). Brood size is less than 25% of wild type. Eggs display a variable pale color. 70-95% of adults survive overnight incubation with 0.5 ug/ul nordihydroguairetic acid.
MP109 unc-8(lb109) IV. C. elegans Coils. Backs fairly well. The coiling phenotype is semi-dominant.
MP125 unc-8(n491) sup-41(lb125) IV; deg-1(u38) X. C. elegans Animals move sluggishly but are able to back, despite n491. lb125 also partially suppresses the tail touch insensitive phenotype of u38 in cold-sensitive fashion: at 25C -> 0%; at 20C -> 5%; at 15C -> 30%.
MP130 sup-40(lb130)/+ I; unc-8(e15) IV; egl-1(n487) V. C. elegans lb130/+ dominantly suppresses the e15 backing defect and causes recessive sterility. Three phenotypes are present in this strain: backing steriles (lb130 homozygotes), backing fertiles which are bloated (heterozygotes), and non-backing coiled Unc animals which are fertile and bloated (sup-40(+)). Maintain strain by picking fertile animals which can back. egl-1(n487) is included in the strain to facilitate identification of lb130 homozygotes, which grow slowly; their sterility contrasts with the bloating of lb130/+ heterozygotes.
MP140 enu-2(lb140) III. C. elegans Mildly Unc. Adults display progressive vacuolization of body wall muscle. Neither phenotype is suppressed by mec-6(e1342).
MP141 sup-43(lb141) II. C. elegans Allele-specific suppressor of unc-8(e49). lb141 single mutant animals are coiler Uncs. Both suppression of e49 and coiling are recessive.
MP145 unc-8(e15lb145) IV. C. elegans Intragenic unc-8 revertant. Appears wild type. Probable null allele.
MP150 unc-8(e15) IV; lbEx9. C. elegans lbEx9 [R31A1(cosmid) + rol-6(su1006)]. Pick non-Unc Rol to maintain. This strain was obtained by co-injection of plasmid pRF4 and cosmid R13A1 into gonads of unc-8(e15) animals. Reference: Shreffler W, Wolinsky E. Behav Genet. 1997 May;27(3):211-21.
MP151 unc-8(e15) IV; sup-42(lb88) X. C. elegans WT. lb88 is a recessive X-linked suppressor of unc-8 dominant mutations.
MP152 dpy-13(e184) unc-8(e15lb55) IV. C. elegans Dpy.
MP153 unc-8(n491) IV; sup-42(lb88) X. C. elegans WT.
MP154 unc-8(e15) IV; egl-15(n484) sup-42(lb88) X. C. elegans Egl. Unc slightly suppressed; the animals will usually back some. [unc-8(e15); egl-15(n484) animals are extremely Unc and will not back.]
MP155 sup-43(lb141) II; unc-8(e49) IV. C. elegans Animals have nearly WT movement. lb141 is an allele-specific recessive suppressor of e49.
MP82 unc-8(n491lb82) IV. C. elegans WT. n491lb82/++ trans heterozygotes coil and back very poorly.
MP84 dpy-5(e61) mec-6(lb84) I; unc-8(n491) IV. C. elegans Dpy.
MP88 sup-42(lb88) X. C. elegans WT.
