Search Strains

Severe Dpy. Cold sensitive: grow at 20C. Can be used for microinjection because rescued animals are easier to pick out than dpy-20(e1282) rescued animals. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC.

Pick wild-type to maintain.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Bli Uncs, and dead embryos and L1s (with Pun phenotype).

Heterozygotes are Unc (n754 is dominant Unc and recessive lethal). Hets throw Dpys which give only sterile progeny. The maternal effect sterility is 99% expressed, 100% strict, and is associated with 1% maternal effect embryonic lethality.

Unc. ts Dpy.

uIs25 [mec-18::GFP + dpy-20(+)].

syIs44 [hsp-16p::lacI::GFP + lacO(256) + dpy-20(+)] V. Heatshock induces expression of lacI::GFP in the soma, which binds to integrated lacO arrays. lacI::GFP expression is silenced in the germline. Derived by out-crossing PS2442 to remove e1282. Reference: Severson AF & Meyer BJ. Elife. 2014 Aug 29;3:e03467.

maIs113 [cki-1::GFP + dpy-20(+)]. Non-Dpy. cki-1::GFP is expressed in all arresting cells that have exited cell cycle.

Intermediate severity of lin-45 raf allele: at 20C, 76% larval lethal and 24% display an abnormal vulva (either Egl, no discernable vulva, or PVul). Medium Dpy. Received new stock 11/2002.

Heterozygotes are non-Unc and segregate non-Unc, Sterile Unc, and Dpy Unc. n2510 is a strong lin-45 raf allele: 100% of homozygotes are Sterile and Vul (no discernable vulva) or larval lethal.
