eEx25 [C13G4(cosmid) + XDM23(phage)]. Animals with eEx25 are WT. Pick wild-type to maintain. Animals which have lost eEx25 are Twitchers and Sterile (occasionally produce young). This cosmid lacks the 3' end of the unc-22 gene while XDM23 lacks the 5' end of unc-22, but following injection an extrachromosomal array was formed that included at least one functional unc-22 gene.

sEx15009 [rCes M28.7::GFP + pCeh361]. Maintain by picking WT. WT animals are GFP+. Strain construction supported by Genome British Columbia and Genome Canada. Please acknowledge McKay et al, Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology 68: 159-169 2004 (WBPaper00006525).

bqIs7 [pie-1p::LAP::npp-19 + unc-119(+)]; rescues Emb defects. Rodenas et al, Dev Biol. 2009 327:399-409.

A 1.2 kb deletion in aff-1 (C44B7.3) which introduce stop codon after alanine 47. AFF-1 is a type I membrane protein necessary and sufficient for specific cell fusion events during embryonic and larval development. Temperature sensitivity was not detected. At 20° the fusion of hyp5 in the embryo does not occur as well as anchor cell (AC) fusion, vulval cells fusion of the A and D rings and the terminal fusion between the seam cells late in L4. 6% L1 rod-like lethal and 0% embryonic lethal. Adults are completely Egl, and partially Unc, Pvl. In addition, only 2% of AC in the mutant worms undergo fusion. These animals give very low brood size (16 progeny per worm) and 3.4% of the worms are sterile. This strain gives very small brood size and hence grows slowly. Originally from Shohei Mitani, Tokyo Women's Medical College, Tokyo, Japan.

Homozygous sterile mutation balanced by GFP- and dpy-10-marked inversion. Heterozygotes are WT with relatively dim pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT dim GFP, Dpy bright GFP (mIn1 homozygotes), and few GFP- tm2214 homozygotes animals which give very small brood size and hence can only be slowly propagated (see BP600 for detailed description for homozygote tm2214 phenotypes). Pick WT dim GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain.

Heterozygotes are WT with relatively dim pharyngeal GFP signal. Segregates Dpy with bright GFP (mIn1 homozygotes). Segregates very few escapers that are non-GFP (ok1021 tm2214 homozygotes).

Unc. Weak Him. Produces unhatched eggs.

Heterozygotes are Unc and segregate Uncs, dead eggs, and Pvul slow growing tm2610 homozygotes. Pick Unc to maintain and check for correct segregation of progeny. Reference: Bhalla N, et al. PLoS Genet. 2008 4(10) e1000235.

Him. Sterile at 25C. Weak allele, M223I.

No obvious phenotype. Reference: O’Rourke et al. (2005) PMID: 16809667.

No obvious phenotype, apparently wildtype sensitivity to pathogens. Reference: O’Rourke et al. (2005) PMID: 16809667.

nbEx146 [glf-1p::glf-1(+) + sur-5p::GFP]. Pick GFP+ animals to maintain. Array rescues glf-1(null) mutant. Reference: Novelli et al. (2009) PMID: 19751718.

Maintain at 15C. Small, sluggish, slow-growing fragile hermaphrodites. Almost inviable above 20C. Reference: Novelli et al. (2009) PMID: 19751718.

Intragenic missense revertant. Partly resistant to Leucobacter Verde1. Reference: Stroud et al. (2013) IWM2013Abstract. ptr-15 also known as bus-13.

Dominant, gain-of-function mutation in egl-30; missense M244I. This strain cannot be distributed to commercial organizations. This strain cannot be used for any commercial purpose or for work on human subjects.

mIs14 [myo-2::GFP]. Heterozygotes are WT and GFP+ with signal in the pharynx. Heterozygote animals segregate heterozygotes (WT GFP+), mIn1 homozygotes (Dpy and brighter GFP+), and rsr-2(tm2625) homozygotes (Lva non-GFP). Pick WT GFP+ animals and check for proper segregation of progeny to maintain. Reference: Fontrodona L, et al. PLoS Genet. 2013 Jun;9(6):e1003543.

Superficially wild-type. tm2607 is a 196 bp deletion + 1bp insertion that removes part of an essential gene, but produces viable animals. Reference: Fontrodona L, et al. PLoS Genet. 2013 Jun;9(6):e1003543.

Homozygous viable, but short-lived. Reference: Lee SJ, et al. Cell Metab. 2009 Nov;10(5):379-91.
