Larval lethal mutation balanced by tmC24 [F23D12.4(tmIs1240) unc-9(tm9719)]. Balancer marked with myo-2p::Venus. Maintain by picking non-Unc GFP+ animals. Heterozygotes are wild-type GFP+ and segregate wild-type GFP+ heterozygotes, non-GFP mg663 homozygotes (lethal), and Unc GFP+ (homozygous tmC24). Reference: Warnhoff K & Ruvkun G.

Pick non-Uncs to maintain. arDp2 is derived from mnC1, hence carries dpy-10(e128) and possibly unc-52(e444). arDp2 is a free duplication but does not pass at a high frequency. arDp2 is not stable as a balancer. It is prone to recombination; pick non-Unc and check for segregation of unc-4 and WT in progeny. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC.
