Strains contributed by this laboratory
| Strain | Genotype | Species | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| SSM2 | mre-11(iow1)/nT1[qIs51] (IV;V). | C. elegans | Heterozygotes are wild-type with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate wild-type GFP, arrested nT1[qIs51] aneuploids, and non-GFP iow1 homozygotes (viable; see note below). Homozygous nT1[qIs51] inviable. Pick wild-type GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. iow1 is a separation-of-function allele of mre-11. Homozygotes develop into adults wild-type in appearance, but laying dead eggs due to defects in meiotic DSB repair: mre-11(iow1) worms form meiotic DSBs but are impaired in their resection. Pick GFP+ to maintain (mre-11(iow1)/nT1[qIs51]) and GFP- to obtain homozygous mre-11(iow1) worms for analysis. Reference: Yin Y & Smolikove S. Mol Cell Biol. 2013 Jul;33(14):2732-47. doi: 10.1128/MCB.00055-13. Epub 2013 May 13. Erratum in: Mol Cell Biol. 2015 Jul;35(14):2568. PubMed PMID: 23671188; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC3700128. |
| SSM264 | rad-51(iow53[GFP::rad-51]) IV/nT1[qIs51] (IV;V). | C. elegans | Heterozygotes are wild-type with pharyngeal-expressed GFP, and segregate wild-type GFP+(pharynx) heterozygotes, arrested nT1[qIs51] homozygotes, and viable non-GFP(pharynx) rad-51(iow53[GFP::rad-51]) homozygotes. Balancer is prone to breaking down. If a population contains a mix of bright and dim GFP animals, pick dim GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. iow53 inserted a GFP tag at the N-terminus of the endogenous rad-51 locus, but the tagged protein is not fully functional. non-GFP(pharynx) rad-51(iow53[GFP::rad-51]) homozygotes form GFP foci in the germline that are mostly spo-11 dependent, and GFP::rad-51 homozygotes have defects in unloading RAD-51. Created by CRISPR using pDD282, therefore may also contain 3XFLAG. Reference: Koury E, et al. Nucleic Acids Res. 2018 Jan 25;46(2):748-764. |
| SSM289 | mre-11(iow45[mre-11::gfp::3xflag]) V. | C. elegans | Homozygous gfp and 3xflag C’ terminal tag inserting just before the STOP codon of mre-11. The strain is fertile and contains wild type germline (examined by DAPI). GFP is expressed in all germline nuclei. Maintain the strain by picking worms at 20C, no selection required. gfp::3xflag was added by CRISPR/Cas9 using pDD282-based vector. Reference: Reichman R, et al. Genetics. 2018 Apr;208(4):1421-1441. |

Heterozygotes are wild-type with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate wild-type GFP heterozygotes, arrested hT2 aneuploids, and non-GFP ok1627 homozygotes. Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable.

| SSM42 | let-92(ok1537) IV/nT1 [qIs51] (IV;V). | C. elegans | Homozygous lethal deletion chromosome balanced by GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested nT1[qIs51] aneuploids, and non-GFP gk526 homozygotes (variable arrest, early larval). Homozygous nT1[qIs51] inviable.

| SSM491 | ubc-9(iow97[3xFLAG::ubc-9]) IV/nT1[qIs51] (IV;V). | C. elegans | Heterozygotes are wild-type with pharyngeal-expressed GFP, and segregate wild-type GFP+(pharynx) heterozygotes, arrested nT1[qIs51] homozygotes, and viable non-GFP(pharynx) ubc-9(iow97[3xFLAG::ubc-9]) homozygotes.

SSM559 was generated by crossing rpa-2(iow49) with rpa-1(iow92), followed by CRISPR insertion of the Myc tag into rpa-4.
