Starved. Lacks M3 spikes. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC. This strain cannot be used for any commercial purpose or for work on human subjects.

Starved; feeding defective; lacks M3 neurotransmission. From DA1051. DA1051 has bor-1 in the background. bor-1 has been crossed out in JD105.

Slow pumping. vu227 is the allele that is actually present in strains DA1316 and DA1370, not ad1051. For those working with DA1316 and DA1370 it may be useful to have an avr-15(vu227) single mutant for comparison. Reference: Dent et al., 2000, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 97(6): 2674-2679.

Moderate resistance to ivermectin. NOTE: originally described as carrying ad1302, but reported to actually be ad1305; see strain JD740 for verified avr-14(ad1302) I; avr-15(ad1051) V double mutant. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC.

Lacks M3 spikes. glc-1(pk54::Tc1). This strain cannot be sent to commercial recipients without approval from UT Southwestern. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC. Received new stock 5/21/08. [NOTE: The correct genotype of this strain is avr-15(vu227) glc-1(pk54) V. This strain was incorrectly annotated as avr-15(ad1051) glc-1(pk54) V. when submitted to the CGC.]

Slow pumping. This strain is a replacement for the strain DA1370 whose genotype is actually avr-15(vu227) glc-1(pk54) V. Reference: Dent et al., 2000, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 97(6): 2674-2679.

Modest ivermectin resistance. Mild feeding defect. Lacks M3 neurotransmission. Reference: Dent JA, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2000 Mar 14;97(6):2674-9.

Highly resistant to ivermectin. This strain cannot be sent to commercial recipients without approval from UT Southwestern. Do not distribute this strain; other labs should request it from the CGC. Received new stock 5/21/08. [NOTE: The correct genotype of this strain is avr-14(ad1305) I; avr-15(vu227) glc-1(pk54) V. This strain was incorrectly annotated as avr-14(ad1302) I; avr-15(ad1051) glc-1(pk54) V. when submitted to the CGC.]

Slow pumping. High reversal frequency. Ivermectin resistant. This strain is a replacement for the strain DA1316 currently in the CGC stock and whose genotype is actually avr-14(ad1305) I; avr-15(vu227) glc-1(pk54) V. Reference: Dent et al., 2000, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. 97(6): 2674-2679.

xnSi31 [sec-8::mCherry + unc-119(+)] II. Expresses sec-8::mCherry maternally and zygotically. Expression is present in many cells, including early embryos, epithelial cells, the excretory cell, and the germ line. Transgene was inserted by MosSCI into ttTi5605 excision site.

neEx15 [myo-2::RFP + myo-2::avr-15(+) + unc-119(+)]. MosSCI recipient strain. neEx15 rescues unc-119, making the worms healthier for injection. The array is counter-selectable. Reference: Shirayama M, et al. Cell. 2012 Jul 6;150(1):65-77.

axIs36 [pes-10::GFP]. Heterozygotes are Unc and sensitive to ivermectin. Segregates csr-1 homozygotes (sterile, non-Unc, resisitant to ivermectin), dead embryos, and Unc heterozygotes.

Heterozygotes are wild-type, GFP+ and sensitive to ivermectin. Segregates non-GFP ego-1 homozygotes (sterile, resisitant to ivermectin), arrested hT2 aneuploids, and wild-type GFP+ heterozygotes.
