Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, Unc and adult steriles (cul-2 homozygotes). cul-2 homozygotes have large germ cells and lay few eggs (slightly temperature sensitive, with more eggs at lower temperatures) that arrest early in development with multiple nuclei.

nIs51 [egl-10(+) + lin-15(+)] X. Egl-C, Bor, hyperforaging, hyperactive locomotion, and male longevity and mating reduced. By Western blotting and staining the EGL-10 protein is highly overexpressed relative to N2. nIs51 was generated by injecting the lin-15 rescuing plasmid pEK1 at 50 ug/ml and the egl-10 rescuing fragment pMK21 at 80 ug/ml into MT1642 lin-15(n765) worms. The resulting strain was gamma irradiated and an integrant isolated, and was backcrossed to N2 four times. nIs51 was mapped to the right arm of X.

cmEx6 [(pBR126) mbk-2p::GFP + rol-6(su1006)]. Maintain by picking Rollers.

Homozygous sterile deletion chromosome balanced by bli-4- and GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested hT2 aneuploids, and non-GFP tm4014 homozygotes (sterile). Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] inviable. Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. The tm4014 allele was provided by the National BioResource Project (NBRP, for C. elegans).

GFP inserted at N-terminus of endogenous ddx-15 locus.
