Superficially wild-type with increased sensitivity to paraquat in multiple assays. Can be maintained 15-25C. rt451 is CRISPR/Cas9 engineered G85R missense mutation in endogenous sod-1 locus mimicking human ALS SOD1 model. Reference: Baskoylu SN, et al. PLoS Genet. 2018;14(10):e1007682.

sod-1(rt449[G85RC]) was created by CRISPR editing of the cognate glycine codon in C. elegans sod-1 to create a disease model for human mutation G93A. This strain also contains additional silent edits, and was back-crossed to remove the pha-1 allele used in strain construction. Under normal culture conditions HA2987 animals are superficially wild-type; after stress latent defects are observed. Reference: Baskoylu S, et al. bioRxiv 799932; doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/799932
