Strain Genotype Species Description
UT1 lrn-1(mm93). C. elegans Associative learning deficient in several assays: Ion/E. coli appetitive conditioning, Ion/garlic aversive conditioning, Ion/Copper aversive conditioning, Diacetyl/acetic acid aversive conditioning. Sensorimotor normal. Non-associative learning with ions and diacetyl normal. No linkage group info available yet.
UT1306 akt-1(mm200) V. C. elegans Benzaldehyde/starvation learning defective. mm200 is a single base pair change resulting in an L199F substitution. Reference: Merritt DM, et al. A Novel Memory Type in C. elegans Exhibits Post-Training Consolidation. bioRxiv 2023.02.22.529281. doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.22.529281.
UT1343 crh-2(gk3293) II; crh-1(tz2) III. C. elegans Double mutant with loss of function in both CREB genes. Derived by crossing parental strains YT17 crh-1(tz2) and VC3149 crh-2(gk3293). Reference: Merritt DM, et al. A Novel Memory Type in C. elegans Exhibits Post-Training Consolidation. bioRxiv 2023.02.22.529281. doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.22.529281.
