Larval-lethal puf-2 deletion allele. Heterozygotes are WT (slightly Dpy) and segregate 25% Dpy, 50% wild-type heterozygotes, and 25% larval lethal (arrest L1-L2). Maintain by picking WT and checking for correct segregation of progeny. Map distance between nm4 and nm66 has not been preciely determined, but is tight enough that >90% of non-Dpy non-Lva progeny from double-heterozygotes retain the parental genotype.

Transformation of ray 6 to a thin ray which is anteriorly displaced and fuses with ray 4 (99%). Body is slightly shorter. See also WBPaper00002235.

Homozygous sterile deletion balanced by tmC9 [F36H1.2(tmIs1221[myo-2p::Venus])]. Heterozygotes are wild-type Venus+ in pharynx, and segregate wild-type Venus+ heterozygotes, non-Venus Sterile (tm6688 homozygotes), and Venus+ Mec Unc (tmC9 homozygotes). Pick viable fertile Venus+ animals and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain.

Chemotaxis deficient. Transgenes are silenced in this background. Reference: Reich DP, et al. Genes Dev. 2018 Feb 1;32(3-4):271-282. NOTE: In the referenced publication, irregularities were noted in the adr-1(gv6);adr-2(gv42) null strain, which were ascribed to background mutationsint hat strain. This strain -- adr-1(uu49);adr-2(uu28) -- was generated Crispr/Cas9 targeted mutation and phenotypes are more consistent with another null strain, adr-1(tm668);adr-2(ok735).

bmdSi200 [loxN::pcn-1p::pcn-1::GFP] I. bmdSi168 [loxN::rps-27p::DHB::2x-mKate2] II. bmdSi200 is a single copy CRISPR/Cas9-engineered insertion of a full length pcn-1::GFP translational fusion under its own promoter. bmdSi168 is a single-copy CRISPR/Cas9-engineered insertion of a codon optimized CDK sensor (amino acids 994–1087 of human DNA Helicase B (DHB) fused to two copies of mKate2).
