Long. Mechanosensory Abnormal. [NOTE: originally described as carrying e1084, this strain actually carries the e75 allele. The lesion has been verified by sequence analysis. (11/26/2018)]

W03D8.6, C11E4.3, F13D12.4, W03D8.5, F48E2.4, F49E2.7, F48E2.9, C11E4.1, C11E4.2, C11E4.17, C11E4.15, C11E4.14, C11E4.10, C11E4.9, C38C5.2. The gk3108 allele was identified by PCR and validated by CGH, and can be detected with PCR using the following primers. External left primer: CATTTGGCTGGGTCAACTTT. External right primer: TATTGTAAGGATCTGCCCCG. Internal left primer: TTGCACCAAAATGATGGAAA. Internal right primer: CTCAGACAACAAGATCCGCA. Internal WT amplicon: 2496 bp. Deletion size: 1960 bp. Deletion left flank: GTAGGAGTTGTTGCGTGGAAGGTCACACGC. Deletion right flank: AAATTGCGAACACAATTTTGAAATTCAAAA. Other lesions identified by CGH. Attribution: This strain was provided by the C. elegans Reverse Genetics Core Facility at the University of British Columbia, which is part of the International C. elegans Gene Knockout Consortium, which should be acknowledged in any publications resulting from its use.

Segregates WT, males, Dpy, Rol, DpyRol, dead eggs (mcDf2). Use XX tra-2 males to move mcDf2 around. mcDf2 is an approx. 500 kb deficiency removing a large chunk between mec-2 and sup-7 (non-inclusive).

qgIR1 (X, CB4856>N2, haw102573 to 4,822,488) X. The strain is a nearly isogenic line that carries the CB4856 version of npr-1 in an otherwise N2 genetic background. NIL derived from RIAIL QX58 linked then unlinked to mec-2 from CB3273 lon-2 mec-2, then backcrossed to lon-2 for 12 generations selecting nonLon worms, then homozygosed. Genotyped N2 at pkP6106 and pkP6145. Based on QG613 sequencing, interval is from X:4,754,307-4,864,273.

uIs46 [rde-1p::mec-2(intron9)::rde-1) + ceh-22::GFP]. Temperature sensitive; maintain at 15 C. RNAi-sensitive at 15 C. Mechanosensory abnormal at 25 C. Uses the ninth intron of mec-2, whose splicing depends on mec-8, to produce temperature-sensitive expression and temperature-sensitive RNAi. Reference: Calixto et al. (2010) Nature Methods 7:407-11.
