Maternal-effect lethal mutation linked to unc-32(e189) and balanced by glp-1- and dpy-19-marked recombination suppressor. Heterozygotes are WT, and segregate WT, sterile ts-Dpy qC1 homozygotes, and viable Unc t1693 homozygotes that do not produce viable progeny. GE2666 is also homozygous for him-3(e1147) so that male progeny are segregated. Pick WT and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Please reference Li-Leger et al., G3 11(12) 2021 in any work resulting from use of this mutation.

Dominant temperature sensitive maternal-effect embryonic lethal. Maintain at 15C. Heterozygotes are WT. hIn1 homozygotes are Unc. Early cleavage spindles small and misoriented, cytokinesis often incomplete. Recessive non-temperature sensitive maternal-effect embryonic lethal (but sterile in conjuction with unc-59).

Hyperactive locomotion and hypersensitive to stimuli such as plate dropping. Restores wild type levels of locomotion to paralyzed ric-8(md303) mutants. Most, but not all adults, appear significantly Egl-c. Some mature adults are thinner than normal. Aldicarb sensitivity, growth rate, pumping, length, and distribution on food are all similar to wild type. The ce268 mutation is a D448N change relative to PDE-4D isoform. It disrupts the catalytic domain by changing one of the four active site residues that together chelate an active site zinc atom. Inheritance is semi-dominant due to dominant negative side effects.

Wild-type phenotype. Segregates WT, Unc-54 (hIn1[unc-54] homozygotes), dead eggs (hDf16 homozygotes). Pick WT and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. See WBG 14: 29.

lqIs80 [SCMp::GFP::caax] IV. lqIs58 [gcy-32::CFP] V. PQR migration defects: PQR in the head in the normal position of AQR. lq42 is a premature stop codon in egl-20. GFP expression in seam cells. CFP expression in AQR, PQR and URXL/R. Reference: Josephson M, et al. PLos One. 2016 Feb 10;11(2):e0148658. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0148658. PMID: 26863303.

Incompletely-penetrant exploding vulva. wd26 (E580K) is an intragenic revertant of the e262 allele for the backward movement phenotype; it is not known if it also modifies other e262 phenotypes. The wd26 lesion (E580K) is molecularly identical to wd14, wd16, wd17, wd18, etc. Reference: Pflugrad A, et al. Development. 1997 May;124(9):1699-709.

ccIs55 [unc-54::lacZ + sup-7(st5)] V. Him. Resistant to 1 mM levamisole.

Unc.

Putative null allele; e995 e2636 homozygotes are superficially wild type in appearance, development, and behavior (except for a modest 20-25% decrease in swimming rate), and do not suppress unc-17(e245). e995 corresponds to G84E (gga>>gaa) and e2636 corresponds to W58stop (tgg>>tag). PCR methods for scoring e995 and e2636 mutations in individual worms are presented in the Supporting Information File of Mathews et al., 2012. Reference: Mathews EA, et al. Genetics. 2012 Dec;192(4):1315-25.

Indistinguishable from unc-17(e245) single mutants (small, slow-growing, coily uncoordinated, jerky going backward, aldicarb-resistant). For additional information, see descriptions of the RM908 unc-17(e245) IV and RM3671 sup-1(e995 e2636)) III single mutant strains. PCR methods for scoring e245, e995, and e2636 mutations in individual worms are presented in the Supporting Information File of Mathews et al., 2012. Derived by crossing RM908 (6x outcrossed) and RM3571 (6x outcrossed). Reference: Mathews EA, et al. Genetics. 2012 Dec;192(4):1315-25.

This strain carries endogenously tagged dynein heavy chain (egfp::dhc-1). Reference: Schmidt et al., J Cell Biol. 2017 Sep 4; 216(9): 2777–2793. doi: 10.1083/jcb.201607038

LoxN sites in the endogenous swsn-4 locus facilitate inducible knockout of swsn-4. he268 he272 homozygotes are Egl since they cannot form a functioning vulva due to swsn-4 inactivated in the mesoderm lineage by hlh-8p::CRE expression.

wpIs40 [unc-47p::mCherry] V. ynIs50 [flp-22p::GFP]. AVL neurons are labeled with GFP and mCherry. Can be used to isolate AVL by FACS. Used by CeNGEN project for RNA-Seq (https://www.cengen.org/).

Null allele. Mortal germline. Progressive telomere shortening due to telomerase dysfunction. Hypersensitive to DNA interstrand crosslinking agents. This strain will become sterile after propagating 10-20 generations. mrt-1 mutants can be rejuvenated by outcrossing. Reference: Meier B, et al. EMBO J. 2009 Nov 18;28(22):3549-63.
