Animals with the Dup are Unc. Animals which have lost the Dup are DpyUnc and arrest in late larval development. See also WBPaper00005456.

Heterozygotes are WT and segregate WT, arrested DpyUncs, Lon males and large number of aneuploid progeny (arrested embyros or larvae). Note that unc-29 is outside the recombination-suppressed region of szT1 and may cross off resulting in Unc-29 progeny. Pick WT and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. 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 Ann Rose.

otIs232 [che-1p::mCherry(C. elegans-optimized)::che-1 3'UTR + rol-6(su1006)]. Rollers. mCherry expression in ASER and ASEL. otEx4359 [die-1(prom8)::2NLS::YFP + elt-2::DsRed]. Pick animals with dsRed+ intestinal nuclei to maintain otEx4359. otEx4359 carries a minimal (1 kb) promoter driving 2NLS::YFP only in ASEL.

ntIs1 [gcy-5p::GFP + lin-15(+)] V. otIs305 [hsp16-2p::che-1::3xHA::BLRP + rol-6(su1006)] V; injected as complex array with Pvu II bacterial DNA. Rollers. Rol is prone to silencing in otIs305, but hsp transgene is still active in Hobert Lab assays. otIs305 is homozygous by PCR analysis (Hobert). Reference: Tursun B, et al. Science. 2011 Jan 21;331(6015):304-8.

otEx4390 [8xASE::GFP::cog-1 3'UTR + rol-6(su1006)]. Maintain by picking Rollers.
