qIs24 [lag-2p::GFP]. 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.

uqIs24 [myo-2p::tagRFP::pab-1]. Expression of tagRFP::PAB-1 in pharyngeal muscles; assembles into stress granules after heat shock (2 hr at 32C) and forms tagRFP::PAB-1 aggregates with age at 20C. Valuable marker for aging and for studying the aggregation of RNA-binding proteins with prion-like domains. Reference: Lechler MC, et al. Cell Rep. 2017 Jan 10;18(2):454-467.

sqIs24 [rgef-1p::GFP::lgg-1 + unc-122p::RFP]. Derived by injection and subsequent integration of plasmids pMH882 and pMH876. Reference: Gelino S, et al. PLoS Genet. 2016 Jul 14;12(7):e1006135. Erratum in: PLoS Genet. 2016 Aug;12(8):e1006271.
