VD neurons can be identified by mCherry alone, no GFP. Derived by crossing parental strains CZ8332 and NY2037. Can be used to isolate VB neurons by FACS. Used by CeNGEN project for RNA-Seq (https://www.cengen.org/).
MSB486 mirSi16 II; eat-4(mir12[loxP 5'UTR] mir17[loxP intron2]) III; mirEx131. mirSi16 [flp-18p::lox2272::BFP::tbb-2 3'UTR::lox2272::ChR2-HRDC::SL2::jRGECO1a::unc-54 3'UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+)] II. mirEx131 [sra-6p::TeNL + npr-9p::ChR2-HRDC::YFP::jRGECO1a + unc-119(+) + gpa:14p::CRE]. Maintain by picking worms with YFP expression in AIB neurons. Blue fluorescence in flp-18 expressing neurons. loxP sites inserrted before first (eat-4(mir12[loxP 5'UTR])) and after second (eat-4(mir17[loxP intron2])) exon of eat-4 gene. Lite. mirEx131 contains calcium sensitive (Kd 250 nM) teal nanolantern (TeNL) in ASH and PVQ, ChR2-HRDC::YFP and jRGECO1a expression in AIB and gpa-14p:CRE. CRE under gpa-14 promoter generates a conditional eat-4 KO in ASH (NOT defective) after recombination of loxP sites in that locus and switches BFP expression in AVA to ChR2-HRDC and jRGECO1a after recombination of lox2272 sites.

MSB577 bus-17(br2) X; mirEx123. mirEx123 [myo-3p::TeNL::unc-54 3' UTR]. Maintain strain by picking animals with blue fluorescence. bus-17(br2) has mutant defective response to short wavelength light; response strongly reduced but not eliminated. Altered surface properties; somewhat skiddy movement; drug-sensitive, bleach-sensitive. Resistant to some bacterial pathogens (hence Bus, Bah phenotypes) and hypersensitive to others. Calcium sensitive (Kd 250 nM) teal nanolantern (TeNL) in muscles. Reference: Morales-Curiel LF, et al. Commun Biol. 2022 Dec 3;5(1):1330. doi: 10.1038/s42003-022-04292-x. PMID: 36463346.
MSB657 eat-4(mir12[loxP 5'UTR] mir17[loxP intron2]) III; lite-1 (ce314) X. loxP sites inserted before first (eat-4(mir12[loxP 5'UTR])) and after second (eat-4(mir17[loxP intron2])) exon of eat-4 gene. Lite. Reference: Porta-de-la-Riva M, et al. Nat Methods. 2023 May;20(5):761-769. doi: 10.1038/s41592-023-01836-9. PMID: 37024651.
