Non-Dpy 4A;3X hermaphrodites segregating 4A;3X hermaphrodites, 4A;2X males and dead or very dumpy 4A;4X hermaphrodites. Reference: Strain 19 in Hodgkin (2002) PMID: 12399387

Temperature-sensitive: Maintain at 15C. Stable, temperature-sensitive tetraploid strain: fertile 4A;3X hermaphrodites and 4A;2X males at 15C; fertile 4A;3X females and feminized sterile 4A;2X males at 25C. Reference: Hodgkin (2002) PMID: 12399387.

WT strain which segregates WT, Dpy and DpySteriles (or WT Steriles if grown at 15C.) Maintain by picking WT. dpy-27 animals are mildly Dpy and Egl with protruding vulva. Maternal effect: dpy-27 homozygotes from het parent give severe Dpy hermaphrodites which are marginally viable and give more severe Dpy hermaphrodites and WT males. Males are vigorous and mate well.

wrdSi3 [sun-1p::TIR1::F2A::mTagBFP2::AID*::NLS::tbb-2 3'UTR] (II:0.77). Endogenous dpy-27 locus tagged with AID element and myc to create a conditional allele using the auxin-inducible degron (AID). In absence of auxin, ~40% of worms are male due to him-8(me4) mutation. In the presence of auxin, ~100% of worms are male (hermaphrodite-lethal due to degradation of AID-tagged DPY-27).
