wyIs45 [ttx-3p::GFP::rab-3 + unc-122p::RFP] X. AIY presynaptic maintenance defect at adult stage (synapses appears in asynaptic Zone 3 region). Reference: Shao Z, et al. Cell. 2013 Jul 18;154(2):337-50.

wyIs45 [ttx-3p::GFP::rab-3 + unc-122p::RFP] X. olaEx559 [rol-6p::cima-1 + unc-122p::GFP]. Maintain by picking animals with GFP expression in coelomocytes. olaEx559 rescues AIY presynaptic defects in cima-1(wy84) mutants. Reference: Shao Z, et al. Cell. 2013 Jul 18;154(2):337-50.

Superficially WT. Suppressor of gna-2. Reduced brood counts at all temperatures (very strongly reduced at 26C). Exhibits mating-dependent progressive hermaphrodite sterility. Reduced embryo survival following heat shock.

Unc. Although hermaphrodites appear WT in other ways, there are some problems with T cell lineages (affecting the phasmids) and tail cell fusions. Variably Dyf. Male tail tip morphogenesis is also defective, resulting in blobby, "leptoderan" tails. Males are infertile due to an inability to properly copulate.

WT strain. Rhabditis (Oscheius) dolichuroides. Isolated by W. Sudhaus in April 1978 from decaying matter in a hole in a tree in Malindi, Kenya. See WBG 12(5) 14. Male/Female strain.

WT strain, Pelodera strongyloides. Isolated in April 1948 from pustules in the skin of a cow with dermatitis in central Illinois (see Levine et al 1950). Gonochoristic. May cause dermatitis in mammals (such as domesticated animals, and, rarely, humans). Grows well at 16-24C on OP50. Dauer larvae are the infective stage and are thermotactic. Freezes easily with C. elegans protocols with 70% viability. Previously called Pelodera strongyloides dermatitica by the CGC.

Male-female. Maintain by mating. Wild-type reference strain for Distolabrellus veechi Anderson, 1983. Isolated by M. E. Doucet in 1991, from necrotic portions of stems of cotton seedlings (Gossypium hirsutum) near Córdoba, Argentina. Gonochoristic. Originally cultured on agar with raw meat, but grows on E. coli OP50 at 18-22˚C. Survives freezing via the C. elegans protocol. Sent to the CGC by David Fitch who obtained the strain from Walter Sudhaus on April 3, 1992, who obtained the strain from M. Doucet.

WT strain. Oscheius sp. See WBG 12(5) 14. Male/Female strain. Collected by a Belgian expedition to the Galapagos archipelago. From Gaetan Borgonie, Gent University, Belgium.

Male-female strain. Maintain by mating. Strain used for sequencing. DF5081 is the strain of Caenorhabditis japonica that Karin Kiontke generated with 20x incrossing of DF5080. http://genome.wustl.edu/pub/organism/Invertebrates/Caenorha bditis_japonica/assembly/Caenorhabditis_japonica-3.0.2/ASSE MBLY

Deficiency covers at least all of cosmid T23G4; right breakpoint may be in cosmid C47A4. Fails to complement tlp-1(bx85). Viable and fertile. Although hermaphrodites appear WT in other ways, there are some problems with T cell lineages (affecting the phasmids) and tail cell fusions. Variably Dyf. Male tail tip morphogenesis is also defective, resulting in blobby, "leptoderan" tails. Males are infertile due to an inability to properly copulate.

jcIs1 [ajm-1::GFP + unc-29(+) + rol-6(su1006)] IV. Rollers. Him. GFP adherens junction marker in a him-5 background allows epithelial cell apical boundaries to be visualized in both sexes. Reference: Herrera RA, et al. Development. 2016 Mar 1;143(5):799-809. doi: 10.1242/dev.132738. PMID: 26811380.

nyIR1 (V, CB4088[him-5(e1490)]>CB4856) V. The strain is a nearly isogenic line that carries the him-5(e1490) V from N2-derived CB4088 in an otherwise CB4856 (“Hawaiian”) genetic background. An unnamed introgression line was originally donated by S. Takagi (Nagoya University) and further backcrossed twice to CB4856. Can be used for mapping mutations in recombinant inbred lines/F2s using STS or whole-genome sequencing. Breakpoints in LG V between CB4088- and CB4856-derived chromosomes have not been mapped.

Heterozygotes are WT, GFP+ in the pharynx and segregate WT (GFP+ in the pharynx), dead eggs (homozygotes for hT2) and hmgr-1(tm4386) homozygotes, which die as young larvae (L1/L2). Maintain by picking GFP+ worms and checking for correct segregation, since the hT2 balancer is lost at low frequencies. hmgr-1(tm4386) can be maintained as homozygous fertile hermaphrodites on 20 mM mevalonolactone.

Homozygous ok2424 animal are viable and fertile, but will go sterile in successive generations. Homozygous sterile deletion chromosome balanced by bli-4- and GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested hT2 aneuploids, and non-GFP ok2424 homozygotes (superficially wild-type with some sterility). Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. Maintain by picking GFP+ heterozygotes and checking for correct segregation of progeny to maintain a balanced stock.
