Animals with Dp/+ are WT. Animals which have lost the Dp arrest as L1 with Gob (gut-obstructed) phenotype. Animals with Dp/Dp are sterile homozygotes. gob-1(ca17) is a small deletion, removing nine genes between R03A10.4 and H13N06.4 (inclusive) and possibly the seven additional genes F39D8.2 to R03A10.3 and H13N05.6.

R03A10.3. External left primer: TGCTGGAGTAGAGCGGGTAT. External right primer: GCAGAGAGCCTGAAAATTGC. Internal left primer: CCTTGTGGAAGGCCTTGTT. Internal right primer: GCACAGCCCTGATTCCTACT. Internal WT amplicon: 1181 bp. Deletion size: 621 bp. Deletion left flank: CAGTTTTTTTCCGTTTCACTTACCACATCG. Deletion right flank: CCCAACTACAGAATGATGCGAATCGTAGAG.
