Heterozygotes are wild-type and segregate WT heterozygotes, Unc (unc-13 gld-1 homozygotes), and Dpy (hT2 homozygotes; the bli-4 mutation is suppressed by dpy-18). XX Uncs have tumorous germline and are sterile; XO Uncs are cross fertile (though they don't mate due to the Unc mutation). q485 is the canonical allele of gld-1. It behaves like deletions of the locus in complementation tests and thus is genetically null. Molecularly, it is a deletion of 82 bases and fails to produce gld-1 RNA and protein.

Heterozygotes are wild-type and segregate WT heterozygotes, Unc (gld-2 gld-1; unc-32 glp-1 homozygotes), and Dpy (hT2 homozygotes; the bli-4 mutation is suppressed by dpy-18). Check Unc-32 animals for tumors to confirm presence of glp-1 in the line. glp-1(q175) is nonsense R191 > stop (opal).

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, DpyUncs and steriles with a tumorous germline. Pick WT to maintain. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC.

Segregates WT GFP+ heterozygotes, non-GFP sterile gld-2 gld-1 homozygotes, very rare GFP+ homozygous hT2, and dead eggs. Maintain by picking wild-type GFP+. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it directly from the CGC.

Segregates WT GFP+ heterozygotes, non-GFP sterile gld-1 homozygotes, very rare GFP+ homozygous hT2, and dead eggs. Maintain by picking wild-type GFP+. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it directly from the CGC. Reference: Jeong J, et al. PLoS Genet. 2011 Mar;7(3):e1001348.

Pick GFP+ heterozygotes to maintain. Segregates fertile GFP+ heterozygotes, non-GFP homozygous mutants (Gld; form germline tumors), very rare GFP+ homozygous hT2, and dead eggs. Reference: Kershner et al. (2014) PNAS 111: 3739-3744.

mCherry knocked into C terminal of vit-3 by CRISPR/Cas9 in the background of parental strain BCN9071 vit-2(crg9070[vit-2::gfp]) X. This resulting double-labelled strain was crossed six times with N2 to remove potential off-target mutations. mCherry and GFP are co-localized in the intestine, body cavity, oocyte, and embryo in adult hermaphrodites.

Maintain at 15C. Pick fertile GFP+ hermaphrodites to maintain. Segregates WT GFP+ heterozygotes, non-glowing sterile gld-1 homozygotes, very rare GFP+ homozygous hT2, and dead eggs. fem-1 is temperature sensitive; causes feminization. gld-1 homozygotes form germline tumors. Reference: Biedermann et al., Dev Cell 17, 355-364 (2009).

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, steriles with a tumorous germline (gld-1 homozygotes), and Uncs that lay non-refractile eggs that fail to hatch (gna-2 unc-55) homozygotes.
