sEx11106 [rCes Y50D7A.7::GFP + pCeh361]. Maintain by picking WT. WT animals are GFP+. Strain construction supported by Genome British Columbia and Genome Canada. Please acknowledge McKay et al, Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology 68: 159-169 2004 (WBPaper00006525).

Apparent homozygous lethal or sterile deletion as unbalanced heterozygote. Deletion of 2646 bp with Calarco/Colaiacovo selection cassette conferring myo-2 GFP and G418 resistance inserted at break. Pick viable fertile GFP+ animals to maintain. Left flanking sequence: GCCTTCAACAACGCAATTCCGACTGCTCCG. Right flanking sequence: AGGTTACCGATAAGATTGCGGCACGTCGTG. Please reference Au et al., G3 9(1): 135-144 2019 in any work resulting from use of this mutation.
