Search Strains

Heterozygotes are WT and GFP+. qIs48 is an insertion of ccEx9747 with markers: myo-2::GFP expressed brightly in the pharynx throughout development, pes-10::GFP expressed in embryos, and a gut promoter driving GFP in the intestine, and is homozygous lethal. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it directly from the CGC. Note: qIs48 has been observed to recombine off hT2, typically leaving behind a functional homozygous viable hT2 with Bli-4 phenotype. rnp-8 homozyotes are GFP- and look like WT. Slow L4 to Adult transition.

PCR using 3 primers: primer A: TCA GCC GAC AAT CTC CGA; primer B: GTA CTG ATT GTA TCC ACC GGC; primer C: GCT CAT AGA AAA GCG ATG G. WT band = 0.5 kb; heterozygote bands = 0.8 and 0.5 kb (double bands), tm2435 bands = 0.8 kb.
