Heterozygotes are non-Dpy with a green pharynx and a WT germ line. fbf-1 fbf-2 homozygotes are non-Dpy, GFP-, and have small germ lines containing only sperm. mIn1[mIs14 dpy-10(e128)] homozygotes are Dpy, GFP+ and have a WT germ line. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC.

Maintain by picking individual animals with green DTCs and green pharynx and scoring offspring for Fems and Fbfs. fem-3 is not well balanced by qIs24. fbf-1 fbf-2 homozygotes are germline proliferation defective and make only sperm. fem-3 homozygotes make only oocytes. fbf-1 fbf-3; fem-3 proliferates more than fbf-1 fbf-2 and makes only oocytes; also Muv. qIs24 contains lag-2::GFP; Distal Tip Cells are green; homozygotes are Rollers and heterozygotes Roll weakly. mIn1 is Dpy and GFP+ in the pharynx. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC.

To maintain, check individual fertile worms for both Sep and Fog offspring. sep-1 homozygotes are sterile at 20C and 25C (Sterile and Unc at 25C), and mostly normal at 15C. fog-1; fbf-1 fbf-2 homozygotes have small germ lines and are often Muv. Best to maintain at 25C for scoring. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC.
