GFP::3xFlag tag inserted at N-terminus of endogenous exc-9 locus. Large cysts in excretory canal, sometimes visible with dissecting microscope, due to loss of intermediate filament-like protein IFC-2 (formerly called EXC-2). Canals labeled with GFP and 3xFlag. GFP::3xFlag tag was inserted with repair of qp130 deletion in parental strain BK596. Derived by crossing parental strains BK583 x NJ678 and selecting for canal cysts and fluorescence.

Animals with the duplication are Unc. Animals which have lost the duplication are DpyUnc and arrest in early larval development.

otEx331 [lad-2p::GFP + pha-1(+)]. Axon guidance defects in SDQ, PLN and SMD neurons. Maintain under normal conditions. Not known if pha-1 is still present in background; maintain by picking GFP+ animals. Reference: Wang X, et al. J Cell Biol. 2008 Jan 14;180(1):233-46.

sqIs25 [atg-18p::atg-18::GFP + rol-6(su1006)]. GFP+ Rollers. Derived by integration of sqEx4 in MAH145. Reference: McQuary et. al., Cell Report. 2016 doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2016.02.012.

Homozygous viable, but poor growth and some mortality at lower osmolarity. Large fluid-filled cysts in excretory cell body and shortened canals, sometimes visible with dissecting microscope. Encodes intermediate filament protein. ifc-2 formerly known as exc-2. References: Buechner M, et al. Dev Biol. 1999 Oct 1;214(1):227-41. doi: 10.1006/dbio.1999.9398. PMID: 10491271. Yang Z, et al.
