Heterozygotes are wild-type GFP+ (pharynx), and segregate wild-type GFP+ heterozygotes, Dpy Sterile GFP+, and non-GFP om138 homozygotes (reduced fertility, reduced embryonic viability and a high proportion of male offspring). om138 is a frameshift mutation. nIs189 [myo-2::GFP] integrated in or near qC1. No recombination seen between nIs189 and qC1; fails to complement all markers on qC1. Reference: Yang B, et al. PLoS Genet. 2019 Feb 22;15(2):e1007992. doi: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1007992.

Heterozygotes are wild-type GFP+ (pharynx), and segregate wild-type GFP+ heterozygotes, Dpy Sterile GFP+, and non-GFP non-GFP smrc-1(om138) met-2(n4256) homozygotes (reduced fertility, reduced embryonic lethality, and produce a high frequency of male offspring).
