The endogenous promoter of ZK813.1 (1046 bp) was replaced with the fln-1 promoter (947 bp) to limit the expression of ZK813.1 to the spermatheca and allow analysis of RNA transfer from soma to oocytes.

vizIs23 [pie-1p::GFP::daf-2(WT)::pie-1 3'UTR + unc-119(+)]. Maintain at 15C; pick superficially wild-type animals to avoid silencing of the transgene. pie-1 driven DAF-2 coding region with GFP transgene rescues the germline defects of daf-2(e1370). Slow growing. The transgene is sometimes silenced in the germline resulting in dauerunc animals at 25C. Reference: Lopez AL 3rd, et al. Dev Cell. 2013 Oct 28;27(2):227-40.
