Strain Information

Name CP217   View On Wormbase
Species C. briggsae
GenotypeCbr-msrp-1(nm86) nmDf3 I; mfIs29.
DescriptionmfIs29 [Cel-lip-1::GFP + Cel-myo-2::GFP]. Strong GFP expression in pharynx and weak GFP expression in various somatic and germline tissues. nmDf3 is an 8411 bp deletion that removes Cbr-msrp-2, Cbr-msrp-3, Cbr-msrp-4, Cbr-msrp-6, and Cbr-msrp-6. Removal of all six Cbr-msrp paralogs has no apparent reproductive phenotypes. [NOTE: Van Goor J, et al. (2005) incorrectly described the nmDf3 as a 5807 bp deletion.] To confirm presence of nm86 mutation, use primers AT130+AT131 (WT: 184 nt, nm86: 224 nt). AT130: CGAAATAATTGAACCTACCAAGA. AT131: CACTCTCTCTGACTGCAAACG. To confirm presence of deletion, use primers AT72+AT73 (WT: 11213 nt, nmDf3: 2802) and AT20+AT75 (WT: 855 nt, nmDf3: no product). AT72: GTACGACGGATAGAGTGTGAT. AT73: CTGTGGGATTATGAAAAGACTC. AT20: AAAAGTAAAACATACCGATCACA. AT75: CAGCAGCAACCTTAGAACAT. Reference: Van Goor J, et al. Curr Biol. 2025 35:1-7.
