dvIs27 [myo-3p::A-Beta (1-42)::let-851 3'UTR) + rol-6(su1006)] X. Rollers. Temperature sensitive: needs to be propagated at 15C. Upshift larval animals to check that the worms get paralyzed and give offspring that arrest as eggs/early larvae. This strain produces low levels of beta amyloid peptide even when grown at low temperature, and therefore there is always some selection for loss of transgene copies. It is recommended to maintain growing stock plates at 15-16 degrees C by transferring small numbers of animals each generation rather than by "chunking", which increases the effective population size and therefore the chance of a relatively rare transgene loss, and then this revertant taking over the population. The strain should also be frozen shortly after being received. This strain can only be sent to academic users and not to commercial organizations.

krIs14 [hsp-16.48p::MosTransposase + lin-15(+) + unc-122p::GFP] V. Recessive Unc. unc-5(lib1) is a CRISPR/Cas9 engineered mutant carrying the Intersister/Intrachromatid Repair Assay (ICR Assay) cassette inserted into the endogenous unc-5 locus. Briefly, ICR assay cassette includes two tandem GFP cassettes: the upstream using the myo-3 (body wall) promoter with a truncated GFP coding sequence, and the down-stream using the myo-2 (pharynx) promoter with GFP coding sequence interrupted by a Mos1 Drosophila transposon. Excision of Mos1 yields a single DSB, which if repaired by intersister or intrachromatid recombination, then will yield GFP+ progeny. The krIs14 insertion carrying heat-shock inducible Mos1 transposase is marked with coelomocyte GFP expression. Reference: Toraason E, et al.
