non-Unc hermaphrodite strain. yDp14/+; unc-2 males are 60% inviable. yDp14/yDp14; unc-2 males are dead.

non-Unc, somewhat Dpy hermaphrodites. Gives DpyUncs when yDp16 is lost.

meDf6; yDp13 is WT hermaphrodite which is Him. 27% of self-progeny are WT males. yDp13 recombines with X, but such recombination is greatly reduced in an meDf6 background. Maintain by picking L4 hermaphrodites and checking to make sure they give lots of dead eggs and lots of males. [yDp13 XO males with an intact X chromosome are >90% inviable.]

meDf6; yDp15 is WT hermaphrodite which is Him. 23% of self-progeny are WT males. yDp15 recombines with X, but such recombination is greatly reduced in an meDf6 background. Maintain strain by picking L4 hermaphrodites and making sure they give lots of dead eggs and lots of males. [yDp15 XO males with an intact X chromosome are >90% inviable.]

Heterozygotes are WT hermphrodites whose progeny include WT hermaphrodites, Dpy hermaphrodites (mnDp66; yDf13 unc-1 dpy-3), WT males and Dpy males.

WT strain which segregates WT, Unc-36, DpyUnc and dead eggs. DpyUncs give 6-10% viable progeny at 20C and less than 1% at 15C. Maintain by picking WT.

mIs10 [myo-2p::GFP + pes-10p::GFP + gut-promoter::GFP] V. WT GFP phenotype, with expression in 4-cell embryos, pharyngeal muscle and gut. Him. mIs10 suppresses recombination between unc-60 and dpy-11.

qIs26 [lag-2::GFP + rol-6(su1006)]. Segregates GFP+ Roller heterozygotes, and non-GFP s939 homozygotes. qIs26 was integrated into qC1 and in the process made qC1 homozygous lethal.

Superficially wild-type.

Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP, and segregate GFP+ heterozygotes, non-GFP homozygotes, and inviable nT1[qIs51] aneuploid embryos. Homozygous progeny of heterozygous mothers are viable, but produce mostly dead embryos. Reference: Severson AF, et al. Genes Dev. 2009 Aug 1;23(15):1763-78.

ccIs4251 [(pSAK2) myo-3p::GFP::LacZ::NLS + (pSAK4) myo-3p::mitochondrial GFP + dpy-20(+)] I. Heterozygotes are superficially wild-type GFP+, and will segregate wild-type GFP+ heterozygotes, htp-3(y428) ccIs4251 homozygotes that are GFP+ in body wall muscle but not pharynx, hT2 GFP+ homozygotes, and aneuploid dead embryos. Avoid picking viable aneuploids that often appear larger and longer than wild-type.

Animals are Muv and Unc at 20C and 25C. At 15C the animals are Unc. Temperature sensitive Muv phenotype. See also WBPaper00001990.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Lon males, and dead eggs. sdc-2(y74)/sdc-2(y74) is lethal, although about 3% of the animals escape the lethality. These animals are extremely Dpy, extensively masculinized, and never fertile.
