bqIs51 [pie-1p::GFP::npp-5 + unc-119(+)] IV. ltIs37 [pie-1p::mCherry::his-58 + unc-119(+)] IV. Expresses GFP::NPP-5 and mCherry in the germ line. Homozygous deletion chromosome balanced by GFP- and dpy-10-marked inversion. tm3039 homozygotes are viable but produce progengy that are primarily Lva or Lvl; bqIs51 transgene rescues the npp-5(tm3039) phenotype.

Pick WT with dim GFP in the pharynx and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Reference: Rodenas E, et al. Mol Biol Cell. 2012 Mar;23(5):930-44.

egIs1 [dat-1p::GFP]; reportedly maps to LG IV. Bright GFP observable in dopamine neuronal soma and processes. For some reason this strain is resistant to neurotoxic effects of 6-OHDA compared to an independent strain BY200 (Nass et al., 2002). Or maybe BY200 is more sensitive to 6-OHDA due to its co-injection marker gene rol-6?
