Unmotivated locomotion, egg-laying defect, weak Hid phenotype. Reference: Ailion M, et al. Neuron. 2014 Apr 2;82(1):167-80.

Mixed "strain" started from many different worms that emerged from the same apricot that gave rise to strain EG4181. Some worms emerged as dauers, but there were also L4s and adults. Consists of a mix of the worms that came from the apricot to try to maintain as much diversity as possible in the population and thus is not a true strain in the traditional sense. It will be sent as contaminated worms since it cannot be cleaned up without going through a bottleneck. For whole-genome sequence-verified wild strains, please request from the Caenorhabditis Natural Diversity Resource (www.caendr.org).

Male-female strain. Maintain by mating. Caenorhabditis sp. 6 wild isolate. Isolated by Michael Ailion and Ana-Joao Rodrigues from a rotting apple collected from the home of Anabela Fernandes in Amares, Portugal (address: Dr. Adolofo Vilela, no. 29, 4720-019 Amares, Portugal). Coordinates: 41 degrees, 37', 43.577 " N; 8 degrees, 20', 51.421 " W. Apple collected March 28, 2007. The apple produced a number of growing animals in different stages, including adults of both sexes. Male/Female Caenorhabditis species. 18S RNA sequence places it closest to PS1010 C. sp. 3.

oxIs322 [myo-2p::mCherry::H2B + myo-3p::mCherry::H2B + Cbr-unc-119(+)]. Wild type worms with mCherry fluorescence in pharyngeal and body wall muscle. Visible on dissection microscope at high magnification. Complex transgene insertion in place of Mos1 allele ttTi5605. Useful for following "invisible" insertions at ttTi5605 site by Mos1 Single Copy gene Insertion (MosSCI). Please note: The insertion was a complex event pulling in more than one transgene and parts of the array. Therefore, the exact molecular structure of the insert is not known. Therefore the strain should NOT be used as a control for insert copy number or other detailed molecular controls of MosSCI insertions. Succesfully used as a balancer for the ttTi5605 locus.

Caenorhabditis sp. 9 Male-female strain. Isolated from a sample collected by Joel Ehrenkranz on May 20, 2008, around 11 AM in Shinkolobwe, Katanga Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo (~11°S, 26°E). The sample was collected from worked soil which contained organic material around the foundation of a wattle hut. This time of year was the dry season in Katanga Province, so daytime temperatures were in the high 70s and nighttime temperatures in the low 50s. The specimen was placed in a ziplock bag with a slice of apple for transport to Susan Mango's lab at the Huntsman Cancer Institute, Salt Lake City, Utah. From the date of collection until the specimen reached the lab was approximately 2 weeks.
