Strain Genotype Species Description
PD3011 cyd-1(cc600) II; cup-5(ar465) III; arIs39 X. C. elegans arIs39 [myo-3p::ssGFP + dpy-20(+)].
QP1208 sws-1(ea12) V. C. elegans Increased lethality and male frequency. Synthetic lethal with helq-1(tm2134). Sensitive to camptothecin. Interacts with rip-1 and rfs-1. Reference: McClendon TB, et al. Genetics. 2016 May;203(1):133-45.
QP122 dpy-3(e27) lon-2(e678) unc-3(e151) X. C. elegans Dpy. Unc. dpy-3 is epistatic to lon-2.
QP1398 him-5(ea42) V. C. elegans CRISPR/Cas9-engineered deletion of him-5. High incidence of males. Reference: Macaisne N, et al. Genetics (2018) 2010:843-856. PMID 30242011
QP1961 eaIs4. C. elegans eaIs4 [him-5p::him-5::GFP::3xFLAG::him-5 3'UTR + unc-119(+)]. Transgene recapitulates published HIM-5 expression patterns and can rescue high incidence of males phenotype of him-5 mutants. Reference: McClendon TB. et al. G3 (Bethesda). 2016 Dec 7;6(12):3913-3925. PMID 27678523.
QP1962 eaIs15 III. C. elegans eaIs15 [pie-1p::him-5::GFP::pie-1 3’ UTR + unc-119(+)] III. eaIs15 can rescue high incidence of males phenotype of him-5 mutants. Reference: McClendon TB. et al. G3 (Bethesda). 2016 Dec 7;6(12):3913-3925. PMID 27678523.
QP218 unc-34(e315) dpy-11(e224) rol-9(sc148) V. C. elegans Unc. Dpy. Rol(ts).
QP220 unc-60(m35) dpy-11(e224) rol-9(sc148) V. C. elegans Unc. Dpy. Rol(ts).
QP2460 hIn1 [umnIs78 unc-54(h1040)]/+ I. C. elegans umnIs78 [myo-2p::mKate2 + NeoR, I: 12541645 (intergenic)] I. Heterozygous strain. Crossover suppressor for LGI right. Inversion includes unc-75 and unc-54(h1040). Heterozygotes are wild-type (not paralyzed) with dim mKate2 expression in pharynx, and segregate heterozygotes (not paralyzed, dim mKate2), homozygous wild-type (not paralyzed, no mKate2), and hIn1 homozygotes (paralyzed, bright mKate2). Pick non-paralyzed, dim mKate2 worms and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Maintain at 20C or higher: recombined balancer seems more prone to breaking down at low temperatures. Derived by crossing parental strain CGC105 (hIn1[umnIs78]) to RG3173 (Y40B1B.7(ve673[LoxP + myo-2p::GFP::unc-54 3' UTR + rps-27p::neoR::unc-54 3' UTR + LoxP])/hIn1[unc-54(h1040)]) and selecting for the recombined hIn1 worms.
QP2479 hIn1 [umnIs75 unc-54(h1040)]/+ I. C. elegans umnIs75 [myo-2p::GFP + NeoR, I: 12541645 (intergenic)] I. Heterozygous strain. Crossover suppressor for LGI right. Inversion includes unc-75 and unc-54(h1040). Heterozygotes are wild-type (not paralyzed) with dim GFP expression in pharynx, and segregate heterozygotes (not paralyzed, dim GFP), homozygous wild-type (not paralyzed, no GFP), and hIn1 homozygotes (paralyzed, bright GFP). Pick non-paralyzed, dim GFP worms and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Maintain at 20C or higher: recombined balancer seems more prone to breaking down at low temperatures. Derived cross of parental strains CGC94 (hIn1[umnIs75]) to QP2460 (hIn1[umnIs78, unc-54(h1040)]/+) and selecting for the recombined hIn1 worms.
