| Description | [Mark Edgley ] Induced with 1500R gamma. Marked with dpy-10(e128), homozygous sterile. Broods from a heterozygote are small, with large numbers of dead eggs. Heterozygous male stocks mate, but mT1 is not transferred at high frequency.

Recommended use: General balancing, strain maintenance, mutant screens.
Growth characteristics: Original isolate marked with dpy-10(e128). Translocation probably breaks in an essential gene, as mT1 homozygotes are sterile.
Handling: Easy to manipulate. Heterozygous males mate reasonably well.
Summary: Reciprocal translocation, well characterized, very stable. Very effective balancer for right portion of LG II from the right end through dpy-10, and the right portion of LG III from the right end to between daf-2 and unc-93. mT1(II) is probably LGII (right) translocated to LG III (left), disjoins from normal LG III. mT1(III) is probably LG III (right) translocated to LG II (left), disjoins from normal LG II.
