Temperature sensitive. Maintain at 15C. Unc.

eEx25 [C13G4(cosmid) + XDM23(phage)]. Animals with eEx25 are WT. Pick wild-type to maintain. Animals which have lost eEx25 are Twitchers and Sterile (occasionally produce young). This cosmid lacks the 3' end of the unc-22 gene while XDM23 lacks the 5' end of unc-22, but following injection an extrachromosomal array was formed that included at least one functional unc-22 gene.

Animals with the Duplications are WT. Animals which have lost the Duplication are Sterile.

Maintain by mating. Hermaphrodites produce nonfunctional sperm and are fertilization defective. Self-fertility is <1% at 16C or 25C. Males are fertile.

Male-hermaphrodite mating strain. Males are fertile, hermaphrodites are sterile.

Temperature sensitive. Fertile at 16C. Partially fertile at 20C. Sterile at 25C. Spermatogenesis arrests at the spermatocyte stage.

Temperature sensitive. Maintain at 15C.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT heterozygotes, Sterile Unc spe-4 unc-15 homozygotes, and dead eggs (sDf5 homozygotes). Pick wild-type to maintain.

Temperature-sensitive. Fertile at 15C. Partially fertile at 20C. Sterile at 25C. Spermatogenesis arrests at the spermatocyte stage.

Male-hermaphrodite mating strain. Males are fertile, hermaphrodites are sterile.

Homozygous male/hermaphrodite line. Males are fertile. Hermaphrodites are sterile, but slightly leaky producing a few progeny (at 25C - ts not tested). In pronase, spermatids from males activate to form many long spikes, terminating at this stage. A very few (1-3 per worm) activate to form normal-looking, motile spermatozoons.

Temperature sensitive spe-27 allele. Hermaphrodites are sterile at 25C but produce 30-40 progeny/hermaphrodite at 16C. Males are fertile.

Dpy. spe-6(hc163) is a recessive suppressor of spe-27(it132). spe-6(hc163) also suppresses spe-8, spe-12, spe-29 and other spe-27 alleles. Causes precocious spermatid activation. Fertile between 15-25C.

Twitcher Unc. spe-6(hc163) is a recessive suppressor of spe-27(it132). spe-6(hc163) also suppresses spe-8, spe-12, spe-29 and other spe-27 alleles. Causes precocious spermatid activation. Fertile between 15-25C.

spe-6(hc163) suppresses the self-sterility of spe-29 in this strain. Self-sterile at 25C.

spe-6(hc163) suppresses hermaphrodite self-sterility of hc76. Dpy.

Dpy. spe-6(hc163) suppresses self-sterility of spe-8, spe-12, spe-27, and spe-29 mutants. Causes precocious spermatide activation. Fertile between 15-25C.

spe-6(hc163) suppresses the ts self-sterile phenotype of spe-27(it132). Also suppresses spe-8, spe-12, and spe-29. Causes precocious spermatid activation. Lays eggs and oocytes. Males are weakly fertile. Fertile between 15-25C.

yanSi1 [eft-3p::dCAS9::VP64::tbb-2 3'UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+)] inserted into ttTi5605 (II:8.42 MB) in parental strain EG6699. Integration plasmid was generated via 3-way gateway reaction with pCFJ150 and plasmids containing eft-3 promoter (ID:1031@E02 promoterome), tbb-2 3'UTR (pCM1.36), and a full length dcas9::VP64 transgene cloned into pDONR201.

Chemotaxis deficient. Transgenes are silenced in this background. Reference: Reich DP, et al. Genes Dev. 2018 Feb 1;32(3-4):271-282. NOTE: In the referenced publication, irregularities were noted in the adr-1(gv6);adr-2(gv42) null strain, which were ascribed to background mutationsint hat strain. This strain -- adr-1(uu49);adr-2(uu28) -- was generated Crispr/Cas9 targeted mutation and phenotypes are more consistent with another null strain, adr-1(tm668);adr-2(ok735).
