This mapping strain uses three dominant fluorescent insertions that can be distinguished when scoring segregation. Please see www.wormbuilder.org for additional strain information.

Animals with mnDp90 are WT. Animals which have lost mnDp90 are DpyUnc and Ncl. Throws males. Males containing mnDp90 are fertile. mnDp90 was derived from mnDp86.

There are 2 types of WT hermaphrodites in this strain which are indistinguishable unless you score their offspring: mnDp66/yDp14; him-8; yDf17/unc-1 dpy-3 animals will have many WT males progeny; but mnDp66/yDp14; him-8; unc-1 dpy-3 animals will have primarily dpy male progeny [mnDp66/yDp14; unc-1 dpy-3 XO animals are mostly dead, but there are some escapers of lethality]. Maintain by picking L4 WT hermaphrodites and checking for correct segregation of progeny.
