kuIs29 [egl-13p::GFP + unc-119(+)] V. egl-13 is the new gene name for cog-2. Transcriptional fusion of GFP to egl-13 gene. Nuclear localized.

Animals grow to be adults with smaller than normal body size and produce a reduced number of progeny on TPA-containing medium. No other apparent phenotypes were so far observed on NGM. Tc1 was originally inserted into a 2.4 kb HindIII genomic fragment. The 1.8 kb portion adjacent to the 3' end of the inserted Tc1 was replaced by an unidentified 1.0 kb fragment probably due to rearrangement during backcrossing.

GFP tag inserted into endogenous vab-10 locus using CRISPR/Cas9. Reference: Suman SK, et al. Development. 2019 Dec 13;146(24):dev183780. doi: 10.1242/dev.183780. PMID: 31784459.

Segregates WT, males, Dpy, Rol, DpyRol, dead eggs (mcDf2). Use XX tra-2 males to move mcDf2 around. mcDf2 is an approx. 500 kb deficiency removing a large chunk between mec-2 and sup-7 (non-inclusive).

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, DpyUnc and dead eggs. mcDf3 is a deficiency very closely linked to lir-1 - not separable - which removes approx. 250 kb.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Uncs and dead eggs and larvae with severe body morphology defects that do not develop beyond the L2 stage. A few very rare mc44 larvae reach adulthood but they become sterile. mc 44 is a deletion affecting the downstream transcription unit of vab-10 named vab-10b. Fails to complement the vab-10 null reference allele vab-10(h1356), but complements the vab-10a alleles vab-10a(e698) and vab-10a(ju281).

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Uncs, and severely Lumpy arrested L1s (ok817). m1 can easily get lost through recombination.
