AV106 C. elegans spo-11(ok79) IV/nT1 [unc-?(n754) let-?] (IV;V). Show Description
Heterozygotes are Unc and segregate Uncs (heterozygotes), non-Unc spo-11 homozygotes, and dead eggs (nT1 homozygotes). spo-11 homozygotes produce an average of ~200 fertilized eggs but only about 0.1 progeny survive to adulthood. When mated to N2 males, spo-11 homozygotes will produce at least 5-10 cross progeny.
AV112 C. elegans mre-11(ok179) IV/nT1 [unc-?(n754) let-?] (IV;V). Show Description
Heterozygotes are Unc and segregate Uncs (heterozygotes), non-Unc mre-11 homozygotes, and dead eggs (nT1 homozygotes). mre-11 homozygotes produce about 200 fertilized eggs but only about 2-3% of these eggs survive to adulthood (this mutation cannot be maintained in a homozygous condition). Occasionally non-Unc progeny that do not demonstrate the mre-11(ok179) mutant phenotype arise when grown in large liquid cultures. mre-11 is the predicted gene ZC302.1

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Unc-36 and dead eggs. Maintain by picking WT. Original isolation: BO strain BC1261 unc-22(s727) hermaphrodite heat shocked for 1 hour at 34C. Crossed to N2 strain BC1270 unc-22(s7) unc-31(e169)/nT1 IV; +/nT1 V. Picked individual WT hermaphrodites. Screened for the absence of gravid Unc-22. Retained strain as BC1379. Balanced over eT1: BC1379 unc-22(s727)[BO]/nT1[N2] IV; sDf31[BO]/nT1[N2] hermaphrodite crossed to BC 1265 dpy-18(e364)/eT1 III; unc-46(e177)/eT1 V. Pick WT hermaphrodites that twitch in 1% nicotine.

From strains segregating Unc-36 but no Dpy or Unc-46 or DpyUnc-46, cross WT hermaphrodites to BC1265 males. From strains producing Dpy, crossed individual WT males to BC70 eT1;eT1. From each cross, crossed WT X WT. Kept one strain producing on Dpy or DpyUncs as S-H716 male. Picked one hermaphrodite to start BC1519. Comments: 1) The LGV region balanced by eT1 should be all BO. 2) Probably the rest of the genome still has a considerable amount from BO since it was crossed to N2 only 4 times. This strain was generated by the Genetic Toolkit project, which should be acknowledged in any publications resulting from its use: The Genetic Toolkit is funded by the NIH National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) (USA) to Ann M. Rose, David L. Baillie, and Donald L. Riddle. Report all experimental results to David Baillie.

BP600 C. elegans aff-1(tm2214) II. Show Description
A 1.2 kb deletion in aff-1 (C44B7.3) which introduce stop codon after alanine 47. AFF-1 is a type I membrane protein necessary and sufficient for specific cell fusion events during embryonic and larval development. Temperature sensitivity was not detected. At 20° the fusion of hyp5 in the embryo does not occur as well as anchor cell (AC) fusion, vulval cells fusion of the A and D rings and the terminal fusion between the seam cells late in L4. 6% L1 rod-like lethal and 0% embryonic lethal. Adults are completely Egl, and partially Unc, Pvl. In addition, only 2% of AC in the mutant worms undergo fusion. These animals give very low brood size (16 progeny per worm) and 3.4% of the worms are sterile. This strain gives very small brood size and hence grows slowly.
