Animals with the duplication are Unc. Animals that have lost the duplication are DpyUncMel. mei-2 is non-conditional recessive maternal effect lethal.

Heterozygotes are WT. ct46 is a dominant, temperature sensitive maternal effect lethal. ct46 homozygotes are viable and fertile at 15C. b284 is a non-conditional, recessive maternal effect lethal. Heterozygotes give more viable progeny at 15C than 25C.

Heterozygotes are Ces and throw dead eggs and Unc Vuls. ces-1(n703) is dominant. Well balanced. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Unc Egls, and dead eggs.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, UncSqv and dead eggs. n3039: mid-L4 vulva abnormal, sterile.

Wild-type to mildly long phenotype, sometimes a bit Unc. Segregates wild-type, Dpy-18 (hT2[dpy-18 bli-4] homozygotes), hDf10 dpy-5 unc-29 homozygotes (probably dead eggs) and large numbers of aneuploids (dead eggs). dpy-18(h662) completely suppresses bli-4(e937), is only very mildly Dpy, and has a distinctive dark body and large clear vulval region as a young adult, before becoming gravid. Do not passage: hT2 homozygotes seem somewhat healthier than the het, and will overgrow the plate. Pick longish wild-types and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. This strain was generated by the Genetic Toolkit project, which should be acknowledged in any publications resulting from its use: The Genetic Toolkit is funded by the NIH National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) (USA) to Ann M. Rose, David L. Baillie, and Donald L. Riddle. Report all experimental results to Ann Rose.

Heterozygote is wild-type, segregating WT, late-larval arresting DpyUncs, szT1 homozygotes (lethal, probably embryonic), and aneuploids (dead eggs). Pick WT and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain stock. Note that some lethals recovered by hT1 are expected to be outside the szT1 crossover suppression boundary and these strains may thus produce DpyUnc progeny. unc-29 marker may also cross away from szT1(I).

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, arrested DpyUncs, Lon males and large number of aneuploid progeny (arrested embyros or larvae). Note that unc-29 is outside the recombination-suppressed region of szT1 and may cross off resulting in Unc-29 progeny. Pick WT and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. This strain was generated by the Genetic Toolkit project, which should be acknowledged in any publications resulting from its use: The Genetic Toolkit is funded by the NIH National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) (USA) to Ann M. Rose, David L. Baillie, and Donald L. Riddle. Report all experimental results to Ann Rose.

Wild-type phenotype. Segregates WT, sterile adult DpyUncs, Lon-2 males (szT1 hemizygotes) and a large number of arrested aneuploid progeny (mostly dead eggs). Pick WT and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Note that unc-29 on szT1(I) lies in the non-balanced region and may recombine onto the normal LG I.
