Balanced heterozygotes are Unc and segregate Unc (heterozygotes), Rol Par (sqt-3 par-1 homozygotes; maternal effect lethal), and dead eggs (nT1 homozygotes). NMY-2::GFP is expressed in the germline and somatic gonad. Cross of JJ1473 and KK288. Unknown if unc-119(ed3) is still present or homozygous in background. Reference: Small LE & Dawes AT.

Chemotaxis deficient. Transgenes are silenced in this background. Reference: Reich DP, et al. Genes Dev. 2018 Feb 1;32(3-4):271-282. NOTE: In the referenced publication, irregularities were noted in the adr-1(gv6);adr-2(gv42) null strain, which were ascribed to background mutationsint hat strain. This strain -- adr-1(uu49);adr-2(uu28) -- was generated Crispr/Cas9 targeted mutation and phenotypes are more consistent with another null strain, adr-1(tm668);adr-2(ok735).

Select Rollers to maintain. Presence of cosmid confirmed by PCR. This transgenic strains were constructed in collaboration with the C. elegans Genome Sequencing Consortium Labs in St. Louis, MO and Hinxton, Cambridge, UK. Funding for the creation of this transgenic strain was provided by a grant to Ann Rose and David Baillie from the Canadian Genome Analysis and Technology Program (CGAT), and from a grant from NSERC (Canada) to David Baillie. If you use this strain in work which you publish, please acknowledge these grants.
