Maintain by picking Uncs. DpyUncs arrest at early-mid larval stages.

Maintain by picking Unc-32 animals. Dpy animals that have lost sDp3 should also be Mel; expected Mel phenotype is embryonic lethal.

Heterozygotes are semi-Dpy and segregate more semi-Dpy, Dpy(ts)Bli(late) and early larval lethals. Pick semi-Dpy to maintain. (Some reports indicate that sDf4 is not transferred through sperm.) 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.

Heterozygotes are WT with major GFP signal in pharynx. Segregates WT GFP+, Dpy GFP+ (mIn1 homozygotes) and few GFP- tm2214 homozygotes animals which give very small brood size and hence can only be slowly propagated (see BP600 for detailed description for homozygote tm2214 phenotypes).

Heterozygotes are WT with relatively dim pharyngeal GFP signal. Segregates Dpy with bright GFP (mIn1 homozygotes). Segregates very few escapers that are non-GFP (ok1021 tm2214 homozygotes).

Heterozygotes are wild-type and segregate WT heterozygotes, Unc (unc-13 gld-1 homozygotes), and Dpy (hT2 homozygotes; the bli-4 mutation is suppressed by dpy-18). XX Uncs have tumorous germline and are sterile; XO Uncs are cross fertile (though they don't mate due to the Unc mutation). q485 is the canonical allele of gld-1. It behaves like deletions of the locus in complementation tests and thus is genetically null. Molecularly, it is a deletion of 82 bases and fails to produce gld-1 RNA and protein.

Heterozygotes are wild-type and segregate WT heterozygotes, Unc (gld-2 gld-1; unc-32 glp-1 homozygotes), and Dpy (hT2 homozygotes; the bli-4 mutation is suppressed by dpy-18). Check Unc-32 animals for tumors to confirm presence of glp-1 in the line. glp-1(q175) is nonsense R191 > stop (opal).

The duplication is lost in about 30-40% of embryos. Reference: Edgar LG, et al. Dev Biol. 2001 Jan 1;229(1):71-88.

Maintain at 15C. Temperature sensitive embryonic lethal. Sterile at 25C. Congenic strain, N2 and Bergerac BE. This allele should NOT be assumed to define a gene to which someone gave the name zyg-12. This name should not be used unless someone finds a non-complementing Bristol mutation. There is no evidence at present that the ts results from a single gene defect. Has been backcrossed >6 times to Bristol strains and should only contain Bergerac DNA in the unc-85 to dpy-10 region.
