maIs105 [col-19::GFP]. Retarded heterochronic phenotype. Worms exhibit supernumerary adult-stage molt and are often unable to exit the molt, becoming trapped in the cuticle. col-19::GFP expression is reduced in hyp7 at the L4 molt. n4037 deletion is between 2891 and 3682 of clone B0395. mir-84 is at 3351-3330 in B0395.

Retarded heterochronic phenotype, reiteration of L2-stage program resulting in extra seam cells by the L3 stage and incomplete alae formation. >75% of animals explode at the vulva at the L4 molt. nDf51 is a 5930 bp deletion starting 1762 bp upstream of mir-241, removing mir-241, mir-48, and F56A12.6 (snoRNA).

Strong retarded heterochronic phenotype, reiteration of L2-stage program resulting in extra seam cells and failure to generate alae. nDf51 is a 5930 bp deletion starting 1762 bp upstream of mir-241, removing mir-241, mir-48, and F56A12.6 (snoRNA).

Precocious heterochronic phenotype, omission of L2-stage program resulting in fewer seam cells by the L3 stage worms. Precocious alae formation. nDf51 is a 5930 bp deletion starting 1762 bp upstream of mir-241, removing mir-241, mir-48, and F56A12.6 (snoRNA).

ctIs39 [hbl-1::GFP + rol-6(su1006)]. Rollers and GFP+. Retarded heterochronic phenotype, reiteration of L2-stage program resulting in extra seam cells by the L3 stage and incomplete alae formation. >75% of animals explode at the vulva at the L4 molt. ctIs39 [hbl-1::GFP]: integrated reporter codes for 133 amino acids of HBL-1 followed by GFP, and contains 1.4 kb of hbl-1 3' UTR plus an NLS. hbl-1::GFP is elevated in the hypodermal syncytium at the L3 stage. nDf51 is a 5930 bp deletion starting 1762 bp upstream of mir-241, removing mir-241, mir-48, and F56A12.6 (snoRNA).

Retarded heterochronic phenotype, reiteration of L2-stage program resulting in extra seam cells by the L3 stage and incomplete alae formation. nDf51 is a 5930 bp deletion starting 1762 bp upstream of mir-241, removing mir-241, mir-48, and F56A12.6 (snoRNA).

nIs281 [myo-2::RFP] integrated near qC1. Recombination between nIs281 and qC1 has been reported. Fails to complemement all markers on qC1. Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Dpy Sterile, and tm3574 homozygotes. gsr-1(tm3574) is embryonic lethal. gsr-1(m+,z-) animals are viable and reach adulthood with no visible phenotype and lay eggs that invariably arrest at the pregastrula stage; they are slightly short-lived, have increased mitochondrial fragmentation, decreased mitochondrial DNA content and have induced mitochondrial UPR measured by hsp-6::GFP levels. gsr-1(m-,z-) have aberrant perinuclear distribution of interphasic chromatin. NOTE: The RFP-labeled balancer is reportedly not entirely stable in this strain and will occasionally segregate recombinants of two types: sterile RFP+ animals (most likely homozygous qC1 [nIs281] worms that are able to grow to adulthood but do not develop germline), and non-RFP animals that lay viable progeny. Maintain by picking fertile RFP+ animals and confirming that non-RFP progeny lay 100% arrested embryos. Reference: Mora-Lorca JA, et al. Free Radic Biol Med. 2016 Jul;96:446-61.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, dead eggs and Uncs. At 25C the Unc Spds are Sterile; at 16C the Unc Spds are fertile but produce mostly dead eggs. Unc Spd animals will exhibit a fully penetrant maternal-effect embryonic lethal phenotype if shifted to 25C at the L4 stage. unc-13 spd-2 homozygotes may be propagated at 16C but may become sick causing immense frustration! See also WBPaper00004200.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, DpyUncs, and Unc-4 animals which arrest at the L4 stage. Rarely, a recombination will occur and unc-4 and pir-1 will become unlinked. Propagate the strain by picking single WT animals and checking for correct segregation of progeny. 6/2007: Daniel Chavez notes that tm1496 may also delete part of sec-5, which could be responsible for the developmental arrest of tm1496.

opIs206 [hif-1p::hif-1(genomic)::GFP::hif-1 3'UTR + unc-119(+)]. Weak GFP signal in early embryonic stages (2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell, etc.). Reference: Sendoel A, et al. Nature. 2010 Jun 3;465(7298):577-83.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT and Sterile Dpys. Homozygous rib-2(qa4900) animals give homozygous F2 animals that can develop to the adult stage but exhibit abnormal phenotypes such as egg-laying defects, increased body width, and reduced activity in movement. While the F2 qa4900 homozygotes are fertile, the F3 qa4900 homozygous progeny stop developing during gastrulation and fail to develop normally. 511 bp deletion in the region of intron2 to exon 6 of the rib-2 gene (K01G5.6).

iaIs21 [gcy-35p::GFP + unc-119(+)]. gcy-35::GFP is expressed in fifteen neurons, all of which also express ahr-1: AQR, PQR, URXR/L, ALNL/R, BDUL/R, SDQL/R, PLML/R, AVM, and two neurons in the tail tentatively identified as PLNL/R. gcy-35::GFP is only transiently expressed in PLML/R during the first larval stage.

hp684(Q1864X) mutant animals generate reversal movement with little flexing of the posterior body, and the stiffness is prominent during prolonged reversals. This phenotype is progressive, and most prominent when animals develop from the L4 stage larvae into adults. Reference: Chitturi JH, et al. PLoS Genetics. 2018;14(4):e1007303.

hpIs459 [unc-4p::GCaMP3::wCherry + lin-15(+)]. Strong GCaMP3 and wCherry expression in A-class motor neurons, as well as some head and tail neurons. It is recommended to use L4 stage animals when using this strain for calcium imaging and recording. Transgene expression becomes dimmer in many A-class neurons (except DA9), and is expression in VC neurons of adults.
