Strains contributed by this laboratory

Strain Genotype Species Description
EG334 cccp-1(ox334) III. C. elegans Unmotivated locomotion, egg-laying defect, weak Hid phenotype. Reference: Ailion M, et al. Neuron. 2014 Apr 2;82(1):167-80.
EG5268 Caenorhabditis nigoni wild isolate. C. nigoni Caenorhabditis sp. 9 Male-female strain. Isolated from a sample collected by Joel Ehrenkranz on May 20, 2008, around 11 AM in Shinkolobwe, Katanga Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo (~11°S, 26°E). The sample was collected from worked soil which contained organic material around the foundation of a wattle hut. This time of year was the dry season in Katanga Province, so daytime temperatures were in the high 70s and nighttime temperatures in the low 50s. The specimen was placed in a ziplock bag with a slice of apple for transport to Susan Mango's lab at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, Salt Lake City, Utah. From the date of collection until the specimen reached the lab was approximately 2 weeks.
EG5505 rund-1(tm3622) X. C. elegans Unmotivated locomotion, egg-laying defect, weak Hid phenotype. 4X outcrossed for autosomes, 2X outcrossed for the X chromosome. Reference: Ailion M, et al. Neuron. 2014 Apr 2;82(1):167-80.
EG5716 Caenorhabditis imperialis wild isolate. C. imperialis Caenorhabditis sp. 14 Male-female strain. Isolated from a rotten horse chestnut (Tahitian chestnut?) collected by David Ailion on the island of Moorea (17.53 S, 149.83 W) on July 24, 2009.
EG5942 Caenorhabditis imperialis wild isolate. C. imperialis Caenorhabditis sp. 14 Male-female strain. Made by inbreeding EG5716 for 30 generations by picking a single L4 female and male at each generation.
EG6142 Caenorhabditis yunquensis wild isolate. C. yunquensis Caenorhabditis sp. 19 Male-female strain. Isolated from a rotten fruit/seed of Ausubo (Manilkara dentata) collected by Susan Dalton in El Yunque, Puerto Rico, near El Verde (~18.3°N, 65.8°W), around March 28, 2010.
