muIs23 [hsp::lin-39 + (pMH86) dpy-20(+)]. Heat-shock inducible lin-39. muIs23 is a spontaneous integrant whose chromosomal location is unknown. [NOTE: This strain was previously described as carrying lin-39(n1760), but it is actually carrying the g to a substitution of mu26. Strain MT7255 has been confirmed to be carrying the a to t substitution of n1760.]

Very sick, Muv, Scrawny. Extra rays in males in body. Ectopic expression of lin-39, mab-5, egl-5. Cold sensitive - grows better at 25C.

muIs27 [mig-2::GFP + dpy-20(+)]. Him. non-Dpy. GFP is membrane enriched and expressed in many cells throughout development (see reference for details). Not known in which LG muIs27 is integrated.

mab-5 mutation affects ectodermal and mesodermal lineages. lin-22 and him-5 mutations affect neuroblast formation from the epidermal precursor cell V5.

muIs28 [mig-2::GFP + unc-31(+)]. muIs28 is not mapped, but probably on LG II by process of elimination.

Abnormal V rays (male).

In males, P7.p and P8.p fail to fuse with hyp7 at the end of L1. Dominant. him-5 allele is either e1467 or e1490.

Resistant to levamisole. Egl-d. Twitch at 25C. Long. Throws males.

Males constitutively protract their spicules in the absence of mating cues.

Unc. Although hermaphrodites appear WT in other ways, there are some problems with T cell lineages (affecting the phasmids) and tail cell fusions. Variably Dyf. Male tail tip morphogenesis is also defective, resulting in blobby, "leptoderan" tails. Males are infertile due to an inability to properly copulate.

Deficiency covers at least all of cosmid T23G4; right breakpoint may be in cosmid C47A4. Fails to complement tlp-1(bx85). Viable and fertile.
