zwIs106 contains [unc-9p::GFP + lin-15(+)]. Superficially wild-type. Maintain under normal conditions. Described in Altun et al. Dev Dyn 238:1936-50 (2009).

zwIs100 [rab-3p::Myc::ryr-1 + myo-3p::GFP]. GFP is expressed in body muscles. Larger and moves better than unc-68(r1162). Also called ZW64A.

zxIs127 [sng-1p::SNG-1::CRY2olig(535) + myo-2p::mCherry]. Strain should be kept in the dark; it is very light-sensitive. Pan-neuronal expression of a truncated variant of Arabidopsis thaliana Cryptochrome-2 fused to synaptogyrin. If illuminated with blue light, synaptic vesicles cluster, resulting in inhibition of synaptic transmission. Synaptic transmission is restored within 15 minutes in the absence of light (ca. 6.5min time constant), resulting in normal wild type behavior afterwards. Reference: Vettkotter D, et al. Nat Commun 13, 7827 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-35324-z. PMID: 36535932

zxIs3 [unc-47p::ChR2(H134R)::YFP + lin-15(+)]. Strain occasionally segregrates Muv animals; pick non-Muv animals to maintain.
