Strain Information

Name DCR8374   View On Wormbase
Species C. elegans
Genotypepfk-1.1(ola458)/tmc30 x
DescriptionAllele ola458 is balanced with a marker strain that has a reversed X chromosome to prevent crossover events (FX30236). This line is heterozygous for the PFK-1.1 ko and the marker chromosome. FX30236 has a CRISPR'd red pharynx marker, a recessive long phenotype, and a weak recessive mec phenotype. Maintain strain by picking non-long, non-mec worms with the red pharynx marker. Progeny of hets that are homozygous for the marker have a red pharynx with about 150% longer body length (generally skinnier too) and are mildly mechano-insensitive; homozygous for the PFK-null allele are normal body length with no pharynx marker with the high embryo fatality phenotype.
