Right flanking sequence: TGGTTGTTTAATATGGTTATTCTTAAGGTA. Please reference Au et al., G3 9(1): 135-144 2019 in any work resulting from use of this mutation.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Unc Egls, and dead eggs.

Him. Temperature-sensitive sterile. Small brood size even at permissive temperatures; pick fertile animals and maintain at 15C.

aeaIs10 [rgef-1p::GCaMP6s::3xNLS + lin-15(+)]. Worms express GCaMP6s in all neuronal nuclei. Pan-neuronal imaging strain; suitable for rapid whole-brain imaging due to brightness, good signal to noise ratio, and relative resistance to photo-bleaching. Reference: Susoy V, et al. Cell. 2021 Sep 30;184(20):5122-5137.e17. PMID: 34534446

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, DpyUnc, dead eggs and Lon males. Maintain by picking WT.

Temperature-sensitive embryonic-lethal mutant. Maintain at 15C. Shift L4s to 25C overnight to observe mutant phenotype of embryos produced by adults. Mutants lack a central spindle during early embryonic mitosis and exhibits a late cytokinesis defect (cleavage furrows regress after ingressing in nearly to the center of dividing embryonic cells). This strain can be used for CRISPR-Cas9 co-conversion. There is a causal mis-sense mutation present in zen-4(cle10), GAC to AAC (D520N), and two silent mutations. One silent mutation is a CGA to CGG mutation at codon 523 that creates a recognition site for a Cas9 guide RNA, in order to use zen-4(cle10ts) as a CRISPR/Cas9 co-conversion marker. The other silent mutation is a GCA to GCT mutation at codon 519 that introduces an AluI site for RFLP analysis. Reference: Farboud B, et al. Genetics Early online November 30, 2018; https://doi.org/10.1534/genetics.118.301775.
