evIs41[mec-7::lacZ; mec-7::unc-5; dpy-20(+)] V. Suppresses axon guidance phenotype ofmec-7::unc-5. Has slight Uncoordinated phenotype.

Unc. Kinker, especially in backward movement.

evIs41[mec-7::lacZ; mec-7::unc-5 + dpy-20(+)] V. Suppresses axon guidance phenotype ofmec-7::unc-5. Has slight Uncoordinated phenotype.

Unc. Kinker, especially in backward movement.

Unc. Kinker, especially in backward movement.

Bacteria. RNAi-compatible OP50 strain. Slow growing. When growing this strain, pick single colonies for liquid culture (at least 20 hrs) from a freshly streaked tetracycline LB plate. Do not include tetracycline in liquid culture, as Tet in liquid culture can have long lasting effects on worm lifespan. The authors recommend using standard PEG transformation method to make competent OP50(xu363) cells, but other ways to make competent cells will also likely work for OP50(xu363).

ccIs55 [unc-54::lacZ + sup-7(st5)] V. Unc.

rdvIs1 [egl-17p::Myri-mCherry::pie-1 3'UTR + egl-17p::mig-10::YFP::unc-54 3'UTR + egl-17p::mCherry-TEV-S::his-24 + rol-6(su1006)] III. Rollers, red fluorescence in vulvae. YFP cannot be detected. Maintain at 20C. Reference: Ou G, et al. Science. 2010 Oct 29;330(6004):677-80.

Temperature sensitive - maintain at 15C. Recessive loss-of-function stronger with increases in temperature, nearly WT at 15C. At the non-permissive temperature DNA replication continues in the absence of mitosis. Mutants enter mitosis at the normal time and form bipolar spindles, but fail chromosome alignment at the metaphase plate, sister chromatid separation and cytokinesis. Molecular lesion is a 9 bp duplication followed by a T to C transversion. Mutagen was EMS but mutation likely caused by polymerase slippage.
