GFP cassette for labeling and FLP-mediated inactivation of baf-1 inserted by CRISPR/Cas9 after the baf-1 start codon. FRT sites in GFP introns 2 & 3.

Heterozygotes are WT and GFP+. q12 homozygotes have a white-patch phenotype. 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.

ldrIs1 [dhs-3p::dhs-3::GFP + unc-76(+)]. eeeIs2 [unc-54p::Htt513(Q128)::YFP::unc-54 3'UTR]. Motility defect. Derived by crossing parental strains LIU1 and EAK103. YFP is fused to a fragment of mutant human Huntingtin protein; expression in body wall muscle cells of the pharynx in adults and punctate expression in body wall muscle cells of larval animals. dhs-3::GFP is expressed mainly in intestinal cells and localized to intestinal lipid droplets.

eeeIs2 [unc-54p::Htt513(Q128)::YFP::unc-45 3'UTR]. Motility defect. YFP expression in body wall muscle cells. YFP is fused to a fragment of mutant human Huntingtin protein. Reference: Lee AL. et al. PLoS One. 2017 Mar 10;12(3):e0173644. [NOTE: The transgene in this strain was previously described as using the unc-45 promoter, but it is actually the unc-54 promoter.]

qIs56 [lag-2p::GFP + unc-119(+)]. q1201 is a 125 bp deletion causing a frameshift in mpk-1B without affected mpk-1A. Heterozygous animals Roll and have GFP+ distal tip cells. Segregates roller GFP(+) heterozygotes and non-roller GFP(-) mpk-1 homozygotes (sterile, but form a vulva). qC1 [dpy-19(e1259) glp-1(q339) qIs26] homozygotes are not viable.
