Pick wild-type heterozygotes to maintain. ct224 homozygotes show Nob phenotype: approximately 80% of homozygous embryos arrest at about the time of hatching with fairly normal anterior development but a severely deformed posterior with a variable knob-like shape; approximately 20% fail to enclose and do not hatch. ct224 is a 4.2kb deletion removing exon 1 through exon 6 of the pal-1 gene. ctIs33 carries a non-rescuing pal-1::GFP fusion containing ~7kb 5' of the SL1 splice site through part of exon 5 fused to GFP. GFP expression is primarily embryonic and limited to a few cells; not visible except at high magnification. Reference: Edgar LG, et al. Dev Biol. 2001 Jan 1;229(1):71-88.
