Recessive, early stop mutation within the coding sequence (C to T substitution in aa52) makes sa734 a likely null allele. May grow slightly better at 15C. Hyperactive, lays early stage eggs, increased amplitude of locomotory wave-form. Suppresses the lethargy and egg-laying defects of unc-43(n498). Reverses direction of locomotion more frequently than WT.

MAINTAIN AT 20 degrees C! deps-1 mutants are temperature-sensitive maternal-effect sterile (>80% sterile at 24.5C) and deps-1 M-Z- animals tend to lay many dead eggs and fewer eggs than WT at lower temps.

krIs14 [hsp-16.48p::MosTransposase + lin-15(+) + unc-122p::GFP] V. Recessive Unc. unc-5(lib1) is a CRISPR/Cas9 engineered mutant carrying the Intersister/Intrachromatid Repair Assay (ICR Assay) cassette inserted into the endogenous unc-5 locus. Briefly, ICR assay cassette includes two tandem GFP cassettes: the upstream using the myo-3 (body wall) promoter with a truncated GFP coding sequence, and the down-stream using the myo-2 (pharynx) promoter with GFP coding sequence interrupted by a Mos1 Drosophila transposon. Excision of Mos1 yields a single DSB, which if repaired by intersister or intrachromatid recombination, then will yield GFP+ progeny. The krIs14 insertion carrying heat-shock inducible Mos1 transposase is marked with coelomocyte GFP expression. Reference: Toraason E, et al.

Suppressed Unc-52. This strain was isolated after EMS mutagenesis of CB998 and subjected to whole-genome sequencing (Flibotte et al., Genetics 185: 431 - 441 (2010). In addition to the unc-52 and sup-38 mutations, it is homozygous for 300 other mutations determined from sequence data. All mutations are annotated in WormBase. The e3003 and e998 mutations were present in the original CB998 strain. Attribution: This strain was provided by the C. elegans Reverse Genetics Core Facility at the University of British Columbia, which is part of the International C. elegans Gene Knockout Consortium, which should be acknowledged in any publications resulting from its use.
