Hypomorphic allele. Homozygous XX animals are masculinized; have hermaphrodite gonad, abnormal male non-gonadal anatomy; self-fertile.

Maternal effect lethal mutation linked to dpy-11(e224) and pseudolinked to unc-24(e138), and balanced by recessive lethal translocation. Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, arrested nT1 aneuploids, arrested nT1 homozygotes, and viable DpyUnc t2035 homozygotes that produce dead eggs. GE2541 is also homozygous for xpf-1(e1487) so that male progeny are segregated. Pick WT and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. Please reference Li-Leger et al., G3 11(12) 2021 in any work resulting from use of this mutation. xpf-1 previously known as him-9.
