Strain Genotype Species Description
WHY10 glh-1(how3[3xHA::TurboID::glh-1]) I. C. elegans 3xHA::TurboID tag inserted at the N-terminus of the endogenous GLH-1. TurboID::GLH-1 promiscuously labels proteins at 20C. Transgene generated in N2 background. Reference: Price I, et al. ELife. 2021 Nov 3;10:e72276. doi: 10.7554/eLife.72276.
WHY430 attf-6(how51[GFP::TEV::AID::attf-6]) I; wrdSi51 II. C. elegans wrdSi51 [mex-5p::TIR1::F2A::mTagBFP2::AID*::NLS::tbb-2 3'UTR] (II:0.77). GFP::TEV::AID tag inserted at the N-terminus of the endogenous attf-6 locus facilitates auxin-inducible degradation of GFP::TEV::AID::ATTF-6. Reference: Wang Y, et al. Nucleic Acids Research. 2025 Feb 28; 53(4): gkaf079. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkaf079 PMID: 39945323.
WHY546 WHY546 attf-6(how52[attf-6::3xflag]) I. C. elegans 3xFlag tag inserted at the C-terminus of the endogenous attf-6 locus. Reference: Wang Y, et al. Nucleic Acids Research. 2025 Feb 28; 53(4): gkaf079. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkaf079 PMID: 39945323.
WHY8 Cbr-prg-1(how21) I. C. briggsae C. briggsae strain. Reduced fecundity at 20°C and 25°C. Generated by CRISPR/Cas9 in AF16 background, prg-1(how21) is a 5 bp deletion located 47 bp downstream of the start codon that causes frameshift. prg-1(how21) is presumed null; consistent with previous findings that the stability of piRNAs and Piwi protein are co-dependent in C. elegans, the overall abundance of 21 U-RNAs in Cbr-prg-1(how21) was reduced to ~1% of wild-type. Reference: Pastore B, et al. RNA Biol. 2022 Jan;19(1):1276-1292. doi: 10.1080/15476286.2022.2149170.
