When singled, hermaphrodites should throw 2/3 hermaphrodites and 1/2 nm2 XX males. The lethal appears to balance the nm2 allele pretty well, but precise recombination mapping has not been performed. The XX males maintain their phenotypic resemblance to the unbalanced strain and are probably not fertile due to obvious gonadal deficiencies. This strain has been successfully grown at 15C and 20C. Both strains appear to have complete penetrance of the mutant phenotypes.

XX animals have no obvious phenotype: self-fertile with normal brood size. XO animals are self-fertile hermaphrodites with low brood size and some somatic gonad defects. Cbr-fem-2/+ XO animals show late-onset germline feminization. AF16 was the parental strain.

XX are self-fertile hermaphrodites.

snt-1 encodes the C. elegans homolog of synaptotagmin I. md290 is a deletion that removes most of the coding sequence. Strain is a slow growing aldicarb resistant (Ric) Unc. Males won't mate.

jsIs37 [mec-7p::snb-1::GFP) + lin-15(+)]. snb-1::GFP expression in a subset of mechanosensory neurons; GFP is faint and can only be seen on a compound microscope. Heterozygotes are GFP+ in the pharynx. dhc-1 homozygotes are GFP- and sterile or partially sterile pvuls. Homozygous sterile mutation 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 js121 homozygotes. Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain.

Ric; very slightly slow and loopy movement. Aberrant EPG.

jsIs682 [rab-3p::GFP::rab-3 + lin-15(+)]. Expresses rab-3::GFP in most, if not all, neurons. rab-3::GFP is localized primarily to synaptic regions.
