Balanced heterozygotes are GFP+ Unc and segregate GFP+ Unc (heterozygotes), non-GFP non-Unc spo-11(me44) homozygotes, and dead eggs (nT1 homozygotes). spo-11(me44) homozygotes are viable and produce more than 90% dead eggs (a large fraction of the survivors are males — strong Him phenotype); cytologically they lack chiasmata in diakinesis-stage oocytes and lack RAD-51 foci. Maintain by picking Unc.

Balanced heterozygotes are GFP+ Unc and segregate GFP+ Unc (heterozygotes), non-GFP non-Unc him-3(me80) homozygotes, and dead eggs (nT1 homozygotes). him-3(me80) homozygotes are viable and non-Unc. They produce more than 85% dead eggs and a large fraction (11%) of the survivors are males (Him phenotype). Cytologically they exhibit a reduced level of HIM-3 loading and fewer stretches of SYP-1 than WT. In diakinesis-stage oocytes, they contain a mixture of bivalents and univalents. Maintain by picking Unc.

Balanced heterozygotes are GFP+ Unc and segregate GFP+ Unc (heterozygotes), non-GFP non-Unc syp-1(me17) homozygotes, and dead eggs (nT1 homozygotes). syp-1(me17) homozygotes produce 95% dead embryos and 38% males. Cytologically they lack chiasmata in diakinesis-stage oocytes, exhibit persistent polarized nuclear organization during earlier meiotic prophase, lack synaptonemal complexes, and exhibit unstable pairing of homologous chromosomes. qIs50 is an insertion of ccEx9747 with markers: myo-2::GFP expressed brightly in the pharynx throughout development, pes-10::GFP expressed in embryos, and a gut promoter (F22B7.9) driving GFP in the intestine.

Heterozygotes are Unc and GFP+ with signal in the pharynx. atl-1(tm853) homozygotes are non-Unc, viable, GFP-, and produce 100% dead embryos. qIs50 is an insertion of ccEx9747 with markers: myo-2::GFP expressed brightly in the pharynx throughout development, pes-10::GFP expressed in embryos, and a gut promoter (F22B7.9) driving GFP in the intestine. nT1[unc-?(n754) let-? qIs50] is also known as DnT1[qIs50]. qIs50 is apparently inserted on DnT1. qIs50 is somewhat dimmer than the similar qIs51.

Heterozygotes are Unc and express myo-2::GFP in the pharynx. spe-42(tn1231) homozygotes are non-Unc and non-GFP. spe-42(tn1231) produces <1 self progeny at 16C and no self progeny at 25C. The Spe defect can be rescued by WT sperm. Homozygous nT1[unc-?(n754) let-? qIs50] are embryonic lethal.

qIs50 is an insertion of ccEx9747 with markers: myo-2::GFP expressed brightly in the pharynx throughout development, pes-10::GFP expressed in embryos, and a gut promoter (F22B7.9) driving GFP in the intestine. Segregates non-glowing Dpys that are Mes (produce only sterile progeny) and glowing Unc heterozygotes. nT1[unc-?(n754) let-? qIs50] is also known as DnT1[qIs50]. qIs50 is apparently inserted on DnT1. qIs50 is somewhat dimmer than the similar qIs51. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it directly from the CGC.

Heterozygotes are Unc and express myo-2::GFP in the pharynx. unc-42(e270) spe-42(eb5) homozygotes are Unc and non-GFP. Whle unc-42(e270) spe-42(eb5) self progeny have not been quantified, spe-42(eb5) alone produces 9 self progeny at 16C and <1 self progeny at 25C. The Spe defect can be rescued by WT sperm. Homozygous nT1[unc-?(n754) let-? qIs50] are embryonic lethal.
