Heterozygotes are WT and GFP+. ok1954 homozygotes arrest as larvae. Pick GFP+ heterozygotes to maintain. qIs48 is an insertion of ccEx9747 with markers: myo-2::GFP expressed brightly in the pharynx throughout development, pes-10::GFP expressed in embryos, and a gut promoter driving GFP in the intestine, and is homozygous lethal.

C29E4.4. Homozygous lethal deletion chromosome balanced by bli-4-, let-?- and GFP-marked translocation. Heterozygotes are WT with pharyngeal GFP signal, and segregate WT GFP, arrested hT2 aneuploids, and non-GFP ok1954 homozygotes (probable early larval arrest). Homozygous hT2[bli-4 let-? qIs48] normally inviable; occasional recombinants are seen (Bli, bright GFP). Pick WT GFP and check for correct segregation of progeny to maintain. External left primer: AGGCTTCCAATTTGACATCG. External right primer: CCACTCGACTTCCACCTTGT. Internal left primer: CATTCATCTTTCGCTGGGTT. Internal right primer: GTCTGCTGGCTTTCCAAGAG. Internal WT amplicon: 3083 bp. Deletion size: 1597 bp. Deletion left flank: ATACCCGGCACTGGTGAAAGAGGCCTTTCT. Deletion right flank: ATGGCAGAGTCGGAAGAGGAATTAAAGGCG.
