cuIs1 [ceh-22::GFP + rol-6(su1006)]. Rollers.

Heterozygotes are Unc and segregate Uncs, non-Uncs and dead eggs.

Heterozygotes are WT and GFP+. Segregates Sma, GFP- worms which have partially penetrant gonadogenesis defects. nT1[qIs51] is probably homozygous lethal. qIs51 is an insertion of ccEx9747 with markers: myo-2::GFP expressed in the pharynx throughout development, pes-10::GFP expressed in the embryo, and a gut promoter F22B7.9::GFP expressed in the intestine. Crosses with this strain generate very few glowing hermaphrodite cross progeny and many glowing male cross progeny. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it directly from the CGC.

Pick wild-type to maintain. Heterozygotes are wild-type and should segregate wild-type heterozygotes, bcl-11 homozygotes (L1 larval arrest with starved appearance), and Dpy Unc homozygotes (Medium Dpy, Shrinker, poor backing). Maintain by picking wild-type and scoring for proper segregation of progeny. bcl-11 homozygotes have weak pharyngeal muscle contractions and pharyngeal lumen fails to open. cu10 is a 555 bp deletion (V:6360921..6361460). Predicted bcl-11 null allele. Reference: Vilimas, Tomas. (2004). Genes regulating ceh-22 and pharyngeal development of Caenorhabditis elegans.. University of Illinois at Chicago.

stIs11811 [ceh-22::H1-wCherry + unc-119(+)].

uIs46 [rde-1p::mec-2(intron9)::rde-1) + ceh-22::GFP]. Temperature sensitive; maintain at 15 C. RNAi-sensitive at 15 C. Mechanosensory abnormal at 25 C. Uses the ninth intron of mec-2, whose splicing depends on mec-8, to produce temperature-sensitive expression and temperature-sensitive RNAi. Reference: Calixto et al. (2010) Nature Methods 7:407-11.

naIs6 [hsp-16.2p::FLP::let-858 3'UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+) + ceh-22p::GFP)].

naEx75 [(pGC146) hsp-16.2p::FLP::let-858 3'UTR) + Cbr-unc-119(+) + (pCW2.1) ceh-22p::GFP)]. Array was bombarded but did not integrate.

naIs7 [hsp-16.2p::FLP::let-858 3'UTR + Cbr-unc-119(+)]. Does not express ceh-22p::GFP, but unc-119 is rescued.

qIs90 [ceh-22b::VENUS (pJK1082) + influenza viral DNA]. qIs90 is an integrated complex array; integration site not mapped. ceh-22b::VENUS can be easily identified by its expression in the pharynx. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it directly from the CGC.

qIs56 [lag-2p::GFP + unc-119(+)] V. qEx557 [hsp-16p::ceh-22b + ttx-3::DsRed]. Him. Pick DsRed+ animals to maintain qEx557 array. Heat-shock can be used to drive the ectopic expression of CEH-22B (derived from Fire Lab vector pPD49.78). LAG-2::GFP is expressed the embryo, nerve cord, Z1/Z4, and DTCs. Reference: Lam N. et al.
