SSM2 mre-11(iow1)/nT1[qIs51] (IV;V). Heterozygotes are wild-type with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate wild-type GFP, arrested nT1[qIs51] aneuploids, and non-GFP iow1 homozygotes (viable; see note below). Homozygous nT1[qIs51] inviable. Pick wild-type GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. iow1 is a separation-of-function allele of mre-11. Homozygotes develop into adults wild-type in appearance, but laying dead eggs due to defects in meiotic DSB repair: mre-11(iow1) worms form meiotic DSBs but are impaired in their resection. Pick GFP+ to maintain (mre-11(iow1)/nT1[qIs51]) and GFP- to obtain homozygous mre-11(iow1) worms for analysis. Reference: Yin Y & Smolikove S. Mol Cell Biol. 2013 Jul;33(14):2732-47. doi: 10.1128/MCB.00055-13. Epub 2013 May 13. Erratum in: Mol Cell Biol. 2015 Jul;35(14):2568. PubMed PMID: 23671188; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC3700128.
CGC86 dpy-5(e61)/hT2 I; unc-36(e251)/hT2 [bli-4(e937) let-?(h661) umnIs67] III. umnIs67 [myo-2p::GFP + NeoR, I: 6284001 (intergenic)] III. Heterozygotes are WT GFP+ and segregate WT GFP+, DpyUnc, lethal GFP+ hT2 homozygotes (arrest stage unknown) and dead eggs (aneuploids). Will throw an occasional GFP+ Dpy non-Unc (similar events were observed in the parental hT2 strain). Pick WT GFP+ and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Derived by insertion of myo-2p::GFP transgene into hT2 balancer in parental strain KR2467 using CRISPR/Cas9. [NOTE: 3/1995: Apparently the lethal mutation is closely linked but not within the balanced region of hT2. It can occasionally recombine away so that the strain will segregate Bli-4 hT2 homozygotes.

PX623 fxDf1 II; him-5(e1490) V. fxDf1 (II: 2,484,339 - 2,487,244) removes nspf-1, nspf-2, and nspf-3. Him. This strain carries a knockout of the Nematode-Specific Peptide family, group F (NSPF) gene family, which localizes to sperm membranous organelles. There are no effects on spermatogenesis, male fertility, or sperm competitive ability. Hermaphrodites produce approximately 30% males. Reference: Kasimatis KR, et al.

NP1360 arIs37 I; cup-14(cd31) II. arIs37 [myo-3p::ssGFP + dpy-20(+)] I. myo-3p::ssGFP is a secreted GFP that is taken up by coelomocytes. Reference: Gee, K et al. (2017) G3 7: 991.
KG4247 ceIs201 I. ceIs201 [unc-17p::ins-22::Venus + unc-17p::RFP + unc-17p::ssmCherry + myo-2p::RFP]; integration site maps to I:0.77. Expresses INS-22::Venus to mark Dense Core Vesicles in the cholinergic nervous system, including the ventral cord cholinergic motor neurons. Also expresses mCherry in the same neurons to help identify the boundaries of the somas, axons, and dendrites. ssmCherry is mCherry with a secretion signal on its N-terminus, which is constitutively secreted and taken up by coelomoctyes in the pseuodcoelomic space, making it a useful marker for those coelomocytes. The INS-22::Venus also gets secreted by DCVs and taken up by coelomocytes. The myo-2::RFP is a co-tranformation marker that lights up the pharyngeal muscle cells and is useful for crossing the integrant into various mutant backgrounds. Reference: Hoover CM, et al. Genetics. 2014 Mar;196(3):745-65.
KG5082 ceIs308. ceIs308 [mig-13p::ins-22::Emerald + mig-13p::mCherry + odr-1p::RFP]; Linked to IVC (ceP86; 3.37): 0/17 recombinants. Expresses INS-22::Emerald to mark Dense Core Vesicles in the the DA9 and VA12 cholinergic motor neurons, and also mCherry in the same neurons to help identify the boundaries of the somas, axons, and dendrites. Useful for visualizing Dense Core Vesicles in a single, well-segregated neuron in living animals. When picking homozygotes from crosses with other strains, focus on the brightness of the RFP puncta in the cord. Autofluorescence in the worm body can make it difficult to gauge differences in brightness of the odr-1::RFP marker. Reference: Edwards SL, et al. (manuscript in revision).
