Morphological changes in the rays, especially transformation of ray 6 into a thickened shape. Appearance of abnormal protuberances around rays. Closed structure of the fan. Impaired mating ability. Exons 8-10 of the adt-1 gene, encoding most of the metalloproteinase domain of ADT-1, are deleted in adt-1(cn30).

C02B4.1. Apparent homozygous lethal deletion chromosome balanced by lon-2-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT, and segregate WT, Lon-2 males, arrested szT1 aneuploids, and ok1965 homozygotes (arrest stage/phenotype undetermined). Pick WT and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. External left primer: ATACGACGACCTCAGTTGCC. External right primer: GCACAACTTTTGTCGGGTTT. Internal left primer: GTGTGACCCGTTATTCGCTT. Internal right primer: GCTCAGGACAACTTGCTTCC. Internal WT amplicon: 3370 bp. Deletion size: 1659 bp. Deletion left flank: TGATGCTTCCCCAGGCCTTATATCTACAAA. Deletion right flank: ATGGGGCGATTGGCTGCCGTGCTCTGTATC. Insertion Sequence: A. Attribution: This strain was provided by the C. elegans Reverse Genetics Core Facility at the University of British Columbia, which is part of the international C. elegans Gene Knockout Consortium, which should be acknowledged in any publications resulting from its use.
