Homozygous viable, Rol. nar12 (non-excised strain) is null for par-4A & C, but not for par-4B, and is viable. Low rate of spontaneous excision even when maintained at 15C. Pick Rollers to maintain. Reference: Roy et al. microPublication Biology. https://www.micropublication.org/roy_2018_mngpar-4.html

Superficially wild-type. nar13 was derived by excision of UTR43(nar12) cassette by heat shock. Tagged endogenous PAR-4A & C: weak, ubiquitous fluorescence. Reference: Roy et al. microPublication Biology. https://www.micropublication.org/roy_2018_mngpar-4.html

narSi2 [mex-5p::GFP::mpk-1B + unc-119(+)] II. mpk-1(-) strain with germline-specific expression of GFP::MPK-1B. GFP::MPK-1B rescues fertility but the animals are still Vulvaless. Transgene uses codon-optimized version of GFP. Reference: Robinson-Thiewes et al. Cell Reports, In Press.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT and Uncs. 1/3 of the WT are zhp-3(jf61::unc-119+) homozygotes and these lay mostly dead eggs.

jnSi12 [peel-1p::htas-1::mCherry::tbb-2 3'UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+)] II. ezIs2 [fkh-6::GFP + unc-119(+)] III. ltIs37 [pie-1p::mCherry::his-58 + unc-119(+)] IV. GFP expression in spermatheca. mCherry expression in germline nuclei. UX993 sperm have increased mCherry intensity compared to that of its parent strains. [NOTE: the ltIs37 [pie-1p::mCherry::his-58 + unc-119(+)] IV transgene was previously annotated as itIs37 in this strain. The correct name of the transgene is ltIs37 and not itIs37.]

Homozygous lethal mutation balanced by bli-4- and GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested hT2 aneuploids, and non-GFP sv42 homozygotes (scrawny, arrests late larva or sterile adult). Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. Note: qIs48 has been observed to recombine off hT2, typically leaving behind a functional homozygous viable hT2 with Bli-4 phenotype. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain.

svIs69 [daf-28p::daf-28::GFP + unc-4(+)]. Derived from injection of pVB298gk (daf-28p::daf-28::GFP) with unc-4(+) into unc-4(e120). unc-4(e120) was likely removed during out-crossing, but might still be in background.

vbaIs52 [eef-1A.1p::YFP::nrde-3] II. Maintain at 20C or cooler; germline mortal (Mrt) at 25C. YFP::NRDE-3 localizes to the cytoplasm, except in the germline, early embryo, and intestine. Upon introduction of dsRNA, YFP::NRDE-3 labels transcription sites of dsRNA gene targets. Superficially wild-type. Reference: Toudji-Zouaz A, et al.

vbaIs53 [rps-27p::mNeonGreen::Flag::nrde-3] II. Maintain at 20C or cooler; germline mortal (Mrt) at 25C. mNG::NRDE-3 localizes to the cytoplasm. Upon introduction of dsRNA, mNG::NRDE-3 labels transcription sites of dsRNA gene targets. Superficially wild-type. Reference: Toudji-Zouaz A, et al.

vbaIs56 [eef-1A.1p::VenusN::nrde-3] I. vbaIs55 [eef-1A.1p::VenusC::nrde-3] II. Maintain at 20C or cooler; germline mortal (Mrt) at 25C. N-terminal and C-terminal fragments of the fluorescent protein Venus are fused to NRDE-3 to facilitate trimolecular fluorescence complementation. In the cytoplasm or nucleus, local concentration of NRDE-3 molecules does not allow fluorescence complementation, thus reducing background fluorescence; once bound on the target transcript, VenusN::NRDE-3 and VenusC::NRDE-3 are in sufficient proximity to allow for fluorescence complementation, labeling transcription sites of dsRNA gene targets. Superficially wild-type. Reference: Toudji-Zouaz A, et al. Nucleic Acids Research. 2021 Jun 9;gkab469. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkab469. PMID: 34107044.

These should not be considered hard breakpoints in the absence of actual sequence data.

Million Mutation Project strain. This strain was isolated after UV/TMP mutagenesis of VC2010, propagated clonally through F10 to drive mutations to homozygosity, and subjected to whole-genome sequencing. It is homozygous for a large number of mutations determined from sequence data. It may also carry large copy number variations that are not homozygous. Alleles numbered between gk100000 and gk962522 are homozygous; those numbered from gk962523 up should be assumed to be non-homozygous. A graphical representation of these large copy number differences can be seen in the Plot section for each strain on the MMP web site ( http://genome.sfu.ca/mmp/).

C08F8.1. Homozygous sterile deletion chromosome balanced by GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested nT1[qIs51] aneuploids, and non-GFP gk526 homozygotes (variable arrest, late larva to sterile adult). Homozygous nT1[qIs51] inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain.
