Strain Information
| Name | AC722 View On Wormbase |
|---|---|
| Species | C. elegans |
| Genotype | aph-2(ik7)/hT2 [bli-4(e937) let-?(q782) qIs48] (I;III). |
| Description | Heterozygous. Homozygous lethal deletion chromosome balanced by bli-4- and GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested hT2 aneuploids, and non-GFP ik7 homozygotes (Egl, Mel, but do not display adult-onset sterility). Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Only heterozygous animals should propagate. aph-2(ik7) is a CRISPR-engineered full deletion of the aph-2 gene (3321 bp deletion). Reference: Brinkley DM, et al. Genetics. 2024 Jul 8;227(3):iyae076. doi: 10.1093/genetics/iyae076. PMID: 38717968. aph-2(ik7) is the first full deletion of the aph-2 gene (3321 bp deletion); it was generated by CRISPR/Cas9, as described in Brinkley et al. 2024 Homozygous aph-2(ik7) animals are Egl and Mel and do not display adult-onset sterility (see Brinkley et al, 2024). Only heterozygous animals from this strain will propagate. |
