Pick WT to maintain. Throws WT, Roller Uncs and dead eggs. wDf4 arrests as dead eggs with no gut. sc8 previously called rol-4(sc8).

Halicephalobus mephisto wild isolate. Grow at 37C: can survive higher temperatures than C. elegans. Useful model organism for studying heat tolerance; has expanded Hsp70 and AIG1 gene families. Has approximately 1.15% snp heterozygosity. Parthenogenetic reproduction so it cannot be out-crossed. References: Borgonie G, et al. Nature. 2011 Jun 2;474(7349):79-82. Weinstein DJ, et al. Nat Commun. 2019 Nov 21;10(1):5268.

Maintain by picking GFP+ wild-type worms. Heterozygotes segregate wild-type GFP+ heterozygotes, sterile GFP- gck-1 homozygotes, and dead eggs (nT1 homozygotes). Reference: Schouest et al, Plos ONE 4(10):e7450 (2009).

Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested hT2 aneuploids, and Dpy Stu homozygotes that are non-GFP. Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable.
