Egl. HSNs are migration defective and defective in serotonin expression.

Egl. Slow growing. Lethal/sterile at 25C. Maintain at 15-20C.

otEx5093 [ham-3p::ham-3::GFP + elt-2::DsRed]. Strain can be maintained at 25C to increase frequency of array transmission. Pick GFP+ or DsRed+ to maintain. DsRed expression is difficult to detect at low magnification. otEx5093 rescues n1654; animals carrying the array are essentially wild-type. n1654 homozygotes without the array are Egl, slow growing, and lethal/sterile at 25C.

sEx14556 [rCes ZK1128.5::GFP + pCeh361]. Maintain by picking WT. WT animals are GFP+. Strain construction supported by Genome British Columbia and Genome Canada. Please acknowledge McKay et al, Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology 68: 159-169 2004 (WBPaper00006525).

Heterozygotes are WT, GFP+ in the pharynx and segregate WT (GFP+ in the pharynx), dead eggs (homozygotes for hT2) and ham-3(he159) homozygotes, which are Sma, Egl, Adl, Pvl. Maintain by picking GFP+ worms and checking for correct segregation, since the hT2 balancer is lost at low frequencies. he159 allele was isolated by John Satterlee from a deletion library at Sander van den Heuvel's lab.

Homozygous lethal deletion chromosome balanced by hT2. GFP+ heterozygotes are wild-type that segregate wild-type GFP+, arrested hT2 aneuploids, and non-GFP tm3309 homozygotes. tm3309 homozygotes are maternal effect lethal (late embryo & larval lethal) and have gonadogenesis defects. Previously known as swsn-2.1(tm3309). Pick wild-type GFP+ animals to maintain. Reference: Large EE and Mathies LD (2014 Jan 8). G3, doi: 10.1534/g3.113.009852.
