ZC168.4. mIs11 [myo-2p::GFP + pes-10p::GFP + gut-promoter::GFP] IV. GFP expression in 4-cell embryos, pharyngeal muscle and gut. Heterozygotes are WT with semi-dominant GFP expression in pharynx.

ZT73 C. elegans coh-4(tm1857) coh-3(gk112)/tmC16 [unc-60(tmIs1210)] coh-3(gk112) V. Show Description
Pick wild-type Venus+ animals to maintain. coh-4(tm1857) coh-3(gk112) homozygotes exhibit defects in synaptonemal complex formation on meiotic chromosomes. Many of the progeny from coh-4 coh-3 homozygotes exhibit embryonic lethality, likely due to aneuploidy, but only a few progeny hatch and exhibit the Him phenotype. The coh-3 and coh-4 genes encode nearly identical meiosis-specific kleisins. The deletion mutations can be checked by PCR with the following primers: coh-4(tm1857): TACGCGGCACACATGGGTCT and CAATTCCCCCTAGACATACGATTC; coh-3(gk112): CTCGCAGCGATCGAGCAAGC and AACTGAACATGAGAGCCACGAAG. tmC16 homozygotes are Unc Venus(+). [NOTE: ZT73 with the inversion-based balancer is more amenable to producing coh-4 coh-3 homozygous mutant males than TY5120 with a translocation-based balancer.] Reference: Tabara H, et al.
