fib-1(mu498[wrmScarlet11::fib-1]) generated via CRISPR/Cas9 insertion into parental strain DUP237; transgene contains a linker between wrmScarlet11 and fib-1. Endogenous fib-1 detectable in the germline. T2A::wrmScarlet(1-10) fused to the C-terminus of endogenous GLH-1. The T2A self-cleaving peptide separates wrmScarlet(1-10) from GLH-1 post-translationally so that wrmScarlet(1-10) disperses throughout germ cell nuclei and cytoplasm. wrmScarlet(1-10) is also maternally loaded into embryos, where it persists through early and mid-embryonic development.

Larval-lethal puf-2 deletion allele. Heterozygotes are WT (slightly Dpy) and segregate 25% Dpy, 50% wild-type heterozygotes, and 25% larval lethal (arrest L1-L2). Maintain by picking WT and checking for correct segregation of progeny. Map distance between nm4 and nm66 has not been preciely determined, but is tight enough that >90% of non-Dpy non-Lva progeny from double-heterozygotes retain the parental genotype.
